There's a lot of tragedy around us. More if we actively look for it. And
it keeps piling up, and the world is sad, and women you don't know cry
at airports because of it. Actions are being taken by those in charge,
and we can back them with our support.
We ask ourselves though, what can we as ordinary citizens do about these
tragedies? We can't change laws. We can't lead thousands.
We can choose how we react.
Let's choose to look to those who inspire, who lead, who are willing to
sacrifice themselves to save lives. Those heroes who we lost and we now
mourn. Let's believe in the innocence of children, and the inherent
goodness that we as humans have. Let's remember those we lost and
celebrate their lives and how they touched us.
Faith in ourselves and those around us will get us a long way.
As one of my friends said, "Spread some positivity today - let it ripple throughout our communities."
Life's a journey, and I love exploring. I believe we should live well, love much and laugh often. Twende!
