Love is All We Need

Good afternoon everybody. I want to take a break from the normal posts and give a moment to the victims of the recent shooting in Newton, Connecticut. This shooting has been one of the most massive shootings we've had occur in the country, but this one truly stood out.

America has been ravaged by shootings for the past century by people who have been strayed away from the right path. They slaughter multiple innocent lives for motives which weren't righteously made. The impacts of each shooting is devastating to not only the victims and the local area, but for the nation. We live in America for opportunity, success, and lively living, but how are we supposed to fulfill those desires when we're too scared of taking a step out of the house?

It is a heavy act, a shooting that is. However, the recent shooting is what truly left our hearts broken. 28 total people were taken by the hands of the corrupt man who then killed himself. Yet, the devastation isn't the total amount of people, but the total amount of children who were viciously taken from this world. Children who were our future. Children who hasn't even touched one percent of life's experiences. Children who had goals, dreams, aspirations, ambitions. Children who were going to raise their own children one day. 

“We’re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics,” Mr. Obama said. The president, a proud parent himself, was truly feeling the pain of every parent in the nation. So what must we do to prevent tragedies like this from happening? We must focus on what might initiate someone to wanted to murder people. 

We know they are already studying issues like this, but its time to take that knowledge into our own hands. We are affected as much as the researchers are and we need to know what we can do to stop somebody because that somebody could be your own neighbor!

So what can we do? Always take the time to listen to somebody. People like to be appreciated for what they have and intensive listening to people can go a long way. Always present positive energies to everyone you meet. Being negative, rude, and downright nasty only breeds more negative energy. It spreads fast and we want positive energies to flow fast from person to person. 

All in all, what we must accomplish, is to learn to love everybody and everything. Love is what brings us together, love is what keeps us together, and spreading love together is what will prevent any more of these massive killings from happening in the future. Dissipate the hate.
