In times of immense and senseless tragedy we are appalled at what mankind is capable of doing to others. We feel vulnerable, sad, angry, helpless. We can offer our condolences, prayers, and assistance, but we cannot eliminate the pain. This we must all endure.
For the future, however, we can re-commit ourselves to kindness, tolerance, and compassion towards all, so that atrocities which lie ahead of us might hopefully be fewer and less painful. We can take a more active role in looking out for one another, in supporting and helping one another. We can know that regardless of future events, we at least made a genuine effort to foster harmony, wellness, and tranquility in our world.

“Achievement pursuers must be leaders, maybe not leaders of others, but certainly a leader of self. To lead one’s self requires continual growth in the areas of knowledge, skills, discipline, tolerance, and compassion. When it comes to goal achievement and success, no one can do it for us, nor can we do it alone.” —Paul Mark Sutherland

“The is no worthy God or Deity who would approve of using deceit to achieve goals and objectives. If you must intentionally deceive, belittle, or harm another person of the world to achieve your goal, you do not have a goal, you have a greed so strong that is has demented your interpretation of success. Spread joy and help others grow while pursuing your goals and you will not be able to avoid real success in the eyes of the world and all worthy Deities.” —Paul Sutherland
