It bothers me that this even needs to be said, but every day brings more tragedies like that in Virginia. Until we learn to glorify peaceful solutions, instead of cheering loudly when someone in a movie beats up the person perceived as the bad guy, the world will never change.
Hatred, the Buddha told us, is never ended by hatred but by love. Jesus said similar things, like turning the other cheek.
No one listens.
And when they don't listen, they don't act to make sure these things don't happen again and again and again.
