It shakes up our feelings when things seem perfect one night before you go to sleep and when you wake up, the world has been changed by a horrific tragedy of mankind. We are all aware of national tragedies, thanks to the dominance of social and news media combining to make a sphere in which most people in our community participate. Knowledge is power, but hearing about real devastation that is going on in the world can make me want to completely give up control and hide, like evil wants us to do. But during times when we have all just witnessed the tragedy of evil taking over man, it is heart wrenching. I can truly imagine being in the midst of high-death tragedies myself, due to my close proximity to several tragedies in the past. When a tragedy occurs, it is important to face it immediately and reevaluate the things that we all choose to live for. Living to be happy and to love others is a common goal shared by the masses. Although few, there are people out in this world who live to kill. It is incomprehensible to people like me and you, but when they show themselves by carrying out their plots of killing the masses, we must not fear these creatures. Instead, we must contain them and ensure that our generation does not let such people go unnoticed for the future generations that follow. We must learn from history, and today is another moment in history that we must face immediately and learn from in order to prevent other innocent people from falling victim to those who have a mistaken view of life and their purpose on this earth.
May those twelve killed in the Aurora, Colorado movie theater during the
Dark Knight Rises
movie premier on this day, Friday, July 20, 2012, rest in peace and may
the families of the victims continue to live in peace and happiness
while never forgetting the loved ones they lost on this day.
God bless.

now. So, we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our
hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight."
