Man's Inhumanity to Man

Unbelievable. 32 people dead--and no idea why. I don't understand how anyone could walk into a room, chain the door shut so that no one can get in or out, and gun down every person in the room. My faith in humanity isn't very good anymore. It feels like no one is good anymore. People are killing people. Husbands cheat on wives, wives cheat on husbands. Parents abuse their children. People doing unspeakable things for a crystal of meth. Where is it all going? I know what the Church says, and I understand that, I just hate watching it. I don't know what I can do, so I do nothing.

I thought Trolley Square was bad--only 5. I thought Columbine was bad--only 12. I'm not counting the shooters because in my mind, they don't count as tragedies. I guess I'm cold, and callous about it. Maybe I've been married to a cop too long, who knows? This is just so depressing. I want to go home and hug my kids and do everything I can to keep them 9 and 5 and keep them home.

Someday I hope I'll understand why God lets such bad things happen to good people. How can people who come from such perfection have so much hate and evil inside?

I don't know anymore. Not sure I want to.
