Webs’ Random Ideas

Tragedies like the one that happened today is something that really cannot be prepared for. Those that commit the act usually fall off the radar screen because as DOF puts it (the link is below) the person is an outlier. And because of this you cannot really plan for the event, and unfortunately it may be difficult to stop.

But that probably won’t stop politicians from using it as a means to put forth their agenda and politicizing the whole thing. Even though this won’t help because those that really want to commit these acts will find a way. The only thing we can do is try to make the world a better place and give people a reason not to commit these acts.

As DOF says:

I suggest two things. First, just listen and think for a year or two. Try to let the event gain some context. Whatever we throw together overnight is likely to do as much harm as good. Second, I suggest kindness. Just random acts of kindness, small words of encouragement to others at unexpected times for no reason at all. It won’t prevent events like this from happening. But it will shine a light against the darkness.

This line from the post deserves it’s own quote:

Kindness is our most powerful rebellion against tragedy.

What a great quote! What a great post! Too bad it had to be a spawn of such a terrible event…
