What's Happening to the World?

I was shocked to read about the news on the Newton shooting where 20 kids were killed when a man open fired inside a school. I was crying too when I watched President Obama's speech, and it just made me all the more sad that there are still poor souls who do not value life. I feel disturbed at the fact that kids 5-10 years of age died senseless deaths. They were there to enjoy, to learn, to have fun, and to be kids. Little did they know what was about to happen to them.

I grieve for the families who never imagined this would happen. Families who never said their goodbyes to these little angels.

What is happening to the world today? Some say it is because the end of days are coming and thus evil is abound. I have a different view about the end of days (supposedly 21 Dec 2012), though, and I feel this stab in the heart and pain in my soul what had just happened. It's hard to trust people or institutions nowadays, and no amount of personal background check or scrutiny of people and organizations or places can take away these kinds of possibilities.

I just wish we as human being find within ourselves our reason for living, the meaning to life, and embrace wholeheartedly the path for us. Till then, we cannot find peace.
