Tragedy struck in CT today, and innocent children died. My heart goes out to them. But more importantly (not even a little bit), I have a blog and must inflict my opinion on the world.
Mostly, I'm upset about people. They think action is the best policy after a tragedy strikes, but that is not the case. That is how mistakes are made. We cannot right wrongs that have already come to pass through knee-jerk reactions. What we need now is time to mourn the loss and recuperate. We can take action another day.
If you feel the need to act on tragedy, you don't need to send aid to Connecticut. There are plenty of people who are all around you who could use help. That single mom who can't afford her groceries. That hobo with the anything helps sign. The man who looks sad on the stairs outside his office. Help them. The world needs heroes. So go be one.
I was raised to believe in heroes, and I've always wanted to be one. I can only hope I do some good in my life, and that maybe, just maybe, I can be a hero that someone needs.
