Whisper words of wisdom, Let it be

OK, I had to write today because I am utterly disturbed by all these random acts of violence here recently. The massacre in Colorado during the Dark Knight Rises, then the capture of a man carrying multiple weapons to a showing of the Dark Knight Rises and now today a shooting at Texas A&M. I know I am probably leaving some out too, and I honestly hate saying that. The fact that their are more than ONE of these acts disgusts me. I don't know what is spurring all of this violence but it HAS to stop.

Also all of this HATE going around isn't helping matters either. This whole thing with Chic-Fil-A has gotten way out of control. They are a privately owned company free to operate whatever way they feel necessary. If they want to give money to a hate group they have the right to do so. If they want to give money to GLAAD they also have the right to do that as well. Their choices may not be viewed as desirable but if that's what they want to do they are at liberty to do so. I don't think I heard any spokes person for Chic-Fil-A come out and say "We hate the LGBT community and we aren't going to serve them because of this stance" No, people have made their assumptions. My mother always told me that when you assume something you make an ass out of you and me. It was a play on the word "assume" but it spoke volumes to me.

Why do we as humans feel that we need to harm one another. I understand we all have differences but there is no reason for one person to hurt or kill another just because of those differences. Our uniqueness is what makes us so beautiful as a species. Our ability to cope with these horrific acts also reminds us that we are stronger than someone who has given in to their weaknesses, and gone through with these hellacious acts. We have to do everything in our power to stop all of this HATE & VIOLENCE. It's exhausting.

A lyric from one of my favorite Beatles songs sums things up quite well.

"And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be"
The Beatles-Let it Be
