The bombs set for the Boston Marathon were the result of evil and cowardice. Set to injure the most people at the spot where there would be the most photographers and cameras to capture their despicable acts for publicity. I will not post any pictures. I will also not post the names or cause whatever they may be when the perpetrator(s) is caught. I refuse to be part of any aggrandizement of evil cowards. If you believe in something, bravely speak out about it. If you want publicity, try accomplishing something good, or go on some stupid reality show, or better yet, injure yourself on a YouTube video. Taking innocent lives is the act of a coward and is pure evil. Sociopaths who care nothing for their fellow people should receive no mercy.
My heart and prayers go out to all the poor souls who were killed or injured in this tragedy, and to their family and loved ones. I also want to pray for all of those in Boston and around the world, that feel fear right now. Events like this can add anxiety and fear to many to be seen at large public events, that something will happen to them. In this world of instant world-wide media, we see every event immediately. However, the world right now is the safest it has ever been. The world has always had sociopaths and psychopaths and evil. We just didn’t hear about them constantly. Do not lead your life in fear. If you do, you let evil win.
In World War 2, strategic bombing was used on London and other major cities, later on Germany and its major cities. Despite the huge losses of life, millions of refugees, and cities destroyed, the effect was opposite the intended. People of both countries had their morale go up, not down. They lived underground, they shared, they worked all that much harder. Oddly enough, the adversity imposed on them made them stronger, with a greater will to fight back. Even wartime production increased in both nations after all the destruction. Russia lost 30 million people in WW2, yet became more resolved to fight and increased production. The Chinese fought on though they lost millions. The Japanese would have fought on even after Hiroshima and Nagasaki if not for their Emperor stepping in.
Evil cowards never win. They commit atrocities, but their actions only provide resolve to good and kind people to stand strong. God bless and comfort those who are suffering today.
