I am so very sorry, Rebecca! Even though I don't know you other than from the forum, you are my closest connection to the senseless tragedy in Paris, and you have just made it much more real to me. My heart breaks for you and your family.

My heart goes out to all those who have lost their lives to this senseless killing of hate. We ask why? Why kill those not responsible for the senseless war? No one has the answer, only the sorrow and sadness of the loss.

There is much more I wish to say... But I will say this, The lives lost should not be vain, and we need to come to realization that war and violence is not the answer. AND we need to let our voices heard that war is not the answer. It only begets misery. Children are not born to hate, nor are they born to kill fellow man. All of us need to stop glorifying war and killing. Be it in Hollywood movies, video games or in extremist branch of Muslim, Hindu, Christian religion. Violence to end violence is not the answer nor is it the way.

Let us not allow this senseless violence to fill our heart with hate but instead, let us remember those who have lost their lives and the joy they brought into the world. Remember that was good about them.

Words really can not say the sorrow I feel for the loss.

My condolence for your loss.

Peace be with you Rebecca,

That was a beautiful post, smiling cat. I wish I could broadcast it all over Facebook. I am seeing some very hateful comments being made out there. I don't want to politicize this thread, so I will just say that I wish everyone thought like you.
