We are indeed getting better, there is less slaughtering worldwide than there was, even just 50 years ago! We just hear about it more and care about it so much and therefore it hurts us all the more deeply because we are connected to each other in ways now that we never knew before.

We need to support each other now as we grieve for these people whose lives were taken from them. And for the sorrow in us that feels like a deep pond of grief. And then after we have settled and sorted a bit, we need to direct our energy towards resolving the problems that create the blissful ease with which people can kill so many so quickly.

I feel strongly that the days of the NRA ruling us are over. We can do our part of ridding ourselves of them after we heal. Right now, let us rest and comfort each other as best we can.
