It's difficult to remain positive, when we are becoming desensitized as a society; but we must always try to be better.

Tragedies on the scale like we see now have happened all throughout history, the details are different, settings are different, but the tragedy is the same. The biggest difference now is that the tragedy is on every TV, cellphone and computer. It's shoved in our faces, we talk about it, we are traumatized by it. It causes a great depression upon the people. It's not because society is becoming desensitized to violence, it's because society is VERY sensitive. It hits a very sensitive nerve. And it should.
If the media wouldn't turn these events into "the talk of every town", the mass shooters would never receive all the attention and glory. They would never have an incentive to be "famous". Outrageously evil actions are praised by other outrageously evil people who could potentially do the same or worse. The media fans the flames, hoping for another juicy tragedy. They are sick people. It also pushes an even more dangerous narrative, in an attempt to disarm the population.
My heart goes out to the parents and teachers, everyone directly effected by this awful event - yet I keep my attention away from it. The gruesome details do not help us live a Godly, prosperous and happy life. Focusing attention on it does not aid us in any way, except to remind us of our the importance of PROTECTING our children from the (MANY) dangers within the government funded education system and our own frail mortal condition. We live in a communication age where bad news comes quickly and does not relent, unless we take steps to shield ourselves from the negative psychological effects. God fearing people are effected the most from tragedies like these, because of our sensitivity towards it.
Remain positive, do not despair, be the light that shines in the darkness!
So true @ironshield and since I grew up in the ghettos of Brooklyn, those words are etched in stone. I guess as we get older, we do become much more sensitive to it.
Thanks for taking the time to cheer me up brother.

That's so sad man. Here in South Africa there have been a spate of mass shootings and murders. 6 people shot dead. 8 people shot dead. 4 people shot dead... and so on.
When it comes to such young kids though, it cuts even deeper.
There's simply no words.
Peace out brother 🤘✌️

All you have to do to stay positive is think of @bradleyarrow. Only in the US do we have people going around doing mass murder. Why? What is the US doing wrong?
@rcaine - trying to figure that answer out delves into subjects that is best to keep it within a person’s personal circle to avoid animosity; but my friend, we just have to do better as a people 😔
