Senseless Tragedies

A senseless tragedy remains forever tragic, but it is up to us whether it remains forever senseless. ~Robert Brault

Until we, as a species, can put aside the constant focus on, and inflammation of, what separates us, there will never be peace or understanding.

My heart is broken from all the worldwide "senseless tragedies" that occur on a daily basis, and I am unable to comprehend a world where only more "senseless tragedy" is tolerated and even encouraged.

Some have occurred in distant places, others too close to home; but all have made me sick at heart, unsure of the future of civilization, and they shake my own confidence that doing work in the laughter and happiness field is doing any good anywhere.
