I dont really know what to say. I probably shouldnt say anything, but I think that is part of the problem. Too many people are staying quiet when they know something is very wrong. Today there was another shooting at Fort Hood. This isnt about gun control. Please dont even bring it up. This is about mental health. There are far too many people living on the edge and too many more that live in fear of confronting those that they see struggling. This is about stress release/relief. This is about trauma recovery. This is about validation and seeking help. This is about fear and anger and what a deadly combination they can be. This is about offering help when you see someone in need. This about praying and reaching out for those who feel they dont need help for whatever reason. This is about the people that will helplessly watch those they love struggle with the demons and memories that come from a day like today. This is about every survivor who is triggered because of an event like this. This is about handling the memories you try so hard to forget. Events like today should not be common place and they are beginning to be. We should not become calloused to these events. We should not accept this as status quo. We need to pay attention and get involved and not become complacent. When we see someone struggling we need to offer assistance even if it isnt wanted. There are some that will never receive your help, but there are many that will. You will never know until you try. Please try and make a difference. Not all people that commit unspeakable hurts are evil. Some are just so lost and so ill equipped to live burdened lives, they lose touch with reality and consequences. We need to reach out before it gets that extreme. Please pray for wisdom for us all. Please pray that the holes in the hearts of those that are suffering get filled with mercy and love. Please pray that troubled hearts can find their way before more people needlessly get hurt. Please pay attention and do what you can even if the only thing you can do is pray.
