Grief in a Whole World

I grieve for the students and the family and friends of the V. Tech students who were murdered the other day. Sadness comes from my gut for them. I also grieve with all those associated with V. Tech. I also grieve, in a different way, for the terribly delusioned murderer.

Now - in a whole world I also grieve for 150 residents of Iraq murdered yesterday. And I grieve for the 15 to 30 soldiers killed every month now. And on. In a whole world all these deaths call for grief and for attention to delusions that bring them about.
