My heart breaks into a million pieces as I refresh my news feed to bring me more news about the tragedy that took place in France today. This act of terror and violence does not belong in a world that all people deserve to live in or should ever have to imagine.
Even seeing posts about the lives lost, commentators all feel the need to place blame and spread more hate and disgust with whomever they feel deserves it this time around. Before everyone starts to post things about what could have been, should have been, would have been, and what we should do now, please use your loving humanity. These people who were killed, hurt, wounded, those who will receive terrible news, and those that are opening their doors to those needing help, deserve all the attention, love, and support.
Sure, many beliefs and ideals may cause some to point blame on numerous people and groups of people, some examples include; refugees, those in the Islam religion, Barrack Obama, those that support the right to carry, or those that support more gun control. Maybe there are direct ties, maybe there are underlying reasons for why this took place. Think all you want and do all you want. But these are humans and our brothers and sisters. These terrors do not stay confined to borders or languages. We all feel grief and sadness, we have all experienced loss, and we all have seen too many shades of terrorism.
Don't let any ideals or beliefs get in to way of your support for these people that are not going home to loved ones; either because they are stuck in the city, experiencing the loss of a loved one, or for those all too many that took their last breaths today.
Our French allies need a lot more power than any post to Facebook or twitter will ever offer. Go out and spread the love to over power the hate and please help us all work towards a world that needs more love and compassion than this hate or violence. The type of violence that makes people sick to their stomach and brings them down to their knees.
