"Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends."
-J. R. R. Tolkien
This was truly a sad day...its easy to turn the channel and our eyes and our hearts, either to avoidance, apathy, or anger...but rather, let us turn our minds and hearts to forgiveness, a desire to help, and an ability to remember and try to fix our mistakes, and hopefully theirs too. Time can heal all wounds, it can possibly hide or reveal all answers as well. I think prayer in these dark days is insuffecient...let us thank God that he is graceful to us and our nightmares.

A rabbi asked his students, “When is it at dawn that one can tell the light from the darkness?”
One student replied, “When I can tell a goat from a donkey.”
“No,” answered the rabbi.
Another said, “When I can tell a palm tree from a fig.”
“No,” answered the rabbi again.
“Well, then what is the answer?” his students pressed him.
“Only when you look into the face of every man and every woman and see your brother and your sister,” said the rabbi. “Only then have you seen the light. All else is still darkness.
