Commentary on Colorado shootings (Blog)

All human enacted tragedies, and the grief that follows in their wake, are regrettable; it's (almost) unimaginable that any individual could be so inwardly corrupt as to deliberately wish to hurt anyone else, let alone a group of innocents.

That said, the article in question here, "10 Truths That Prove You Have Nothing To Lose," http://www.guyfinley.org/free-content/writings/special-lessons/1923 should not be seen as insensitive, or otherwise contesting the nightmare that just took place at the theatre in Colorado; in fact, seen in the light of these ten principles, and their central theme, heinous acts like the one in Colorado (and that happen all over the world on a daily basis) should only help to prove that we all need to "wake up" to a certain fact of life:

The discovery that our beautiful world--with all of its beautiful relationships--is at best temporary, (let alone subject to the destructive act of any maniacal, pain-ridden person who takes it upon himself to punish others), should only serve to strengthen our wish to transcend those parts of us that are identified with it (this world). Such a wish doesn't deny, or in any way denigrate the suffering that seems so inherent in our physical existence, (and may those who have lost loved ones in this senseless crime be consoled). Rather, (I believe) it places this inevitable suffering (that we all must face) into the service of something higher, of something loving that wants us to know (in spite of temporary and confounding appearances) that God is good.
