Perspective on Tragedy

by | Apr 16, 2013 | Self-Help

After hearing and watching the tragedy in Boston I am reminded of several thoughts:
There are cruel people filled with hate in this world, there are a thousand times more people with good hearts and good intentions who bring light into dark situations.
Life is filled with risks. If I’m not willing to take any risks, to think I can live in a protective bubble, I am not really living.
The only things we have control over are our thoughts and reactions.
Security cannot make us safe it only increases our chances.
There are no guarantees in life.
As we mourn the loss of innocence, safety and life we allow ourselves to journey toward healing.
It is a choice to live in fear.
