This Couldn't Wait

Today I wanted to blog about Kobe Bryant being a "sympathetic figure" in the midst of this season. A fluff piece about the dichotomy of a millionaire who is self engulfed with himself and his goals and the notion of feeling "sorry" for him. But, when I heard the news about the shooting deaths in Connecticut I decided to write about something that matters. I don't know if anyone will even read this, but it couldn't wait. The world, the country that we live in...we have to wake up. There are so many layers to tragedies like this. We will hear all the appeals for stauncher gun control and all the prayers and such. I agree with all that, and I welcome it, but when are we going to get to the heart of the matter. Something is going on and we have to try to solve the riddle. We are so concerned with getting money and progressing up social ladders that we forget about people. Forgotten people fail themselves......this guy whoever he was, was forgotten. Love the people that are around you and don't turn your back on them when you see that they have problems. Do what you can to help people when they are in a mental downpour. All we have really are our souls and hearts to give to people in need. This guy did a terrible thing and ruined a bunch of other people's lives. The 18 children will never grow up to reach their potential of who they can be, the children who witnessed this cowardly act of depression will never be able top forget this day. Some will never move on from this and thus it will ruin their lives....the cycle will run. We have to love one another more and realize what is important to human beings and what is not. Lets try to Love one another.........Lets try
