I am here, in India, untouched physically by the horror that surfaced in Sandy Hook yesterday, yet my soul feels hollow, and I can't explain why I carry the sense of emptiness, loss, fear, anxiety, and the cliff hanger emotion knowing the proximity of the incident. Its happened so many times before, and yes, the sympathy was always there, but maybe its a mixture of being a first time mother, deathly afraid of my child's safety, and the fact that it happened so so so so close to home, and affected so so so many people I know and the people they know. Terror is terror everywhere. And there is no way to know when it will hit you or someone you love, and yes, we've got to do more about security, but we have to do more to learn how to read the signs of these sick individuals and find out what makes them tick. We can do everything to protect, but unless we don't move forward in finding out the root cause instances like this will happen again and again, unfortunately.
