So the shooting at the Batman midnight screening in Aurora...
It makes me feel so sad and so angry like what the hell!
It may sound weird but at times like this I wish that I had a faith. Now I hate when people say this but when people say things like "you'll be in my prayers" or "I'll pray for you" or anything like that it makes me cringe and I just hate it. I think because a lot of the time when people say it they are being condescending, annoying and unnecessary. Anyway my point is I think its only appropriate when something tragic happens. It's sad but true. As a bystander of tragic things that happen we feel for the people that are lost or for the loss that others endure and we want to help but we can't. It's human nature. Having these victims in our prayers would make it feel like we are doing something by acknowledging them and remembering them. I think it may be in a way a self soothing mechanism as it makes you feel better.
If I had a faith I would pray for these people hurt by the actions of a crazy man. But I don't so instead I feel helpless.
For those affected, you are in my thoughts.
