I couldn't sleep last night. I had no dreams about the terrorism in Boston, but I was unsettled, deeply disturbed, as were so many. Our younger son has friends there and checked immediately. They were okay. Children were hurt again, as in Newtown. The whole senseless vile mind of a person who plans this kind of thing is so random, frightening and is impossible to prevent. Our media is saturated by events across the globe. We see these and they become the norm or worse still, seductive to certain people. It's an endless cycle spun out of control. I am very sad.
I also have been disturbed about the young woman who hanged herself after she was raped while unconscious and photos of her shared online. The evil of young men like that, and their friends, is as destructive as terrorism. To use her as a prank and toy, and brag about the abuse shows a lack of respect for other human beings.
Neither kind of person can see others as having feelings or rights. It chills me to the bone.
