I just want to post something small.
Terrible things happen. Sometimes...most of the time, there is nothing we can do about it.
Life is a gift, people. It truly is. When tragedy occurs, the best thing you can do in the wake of it all is to take a moment and assess your own lot. Maybe we don't have everything we want. Maybe we got a bad grade, or didn't get that promotion, or maybe we just can't seem to wrap our minds around anything happy. But the point is, why do we always have to feel like we're missing out on something? Especially when, often times, we have so much...and we don't even realize it. Family. Friends. Good health. Money in our pockets. A home...or some facsimile thereof.
Peace. We have peace. We have the potential to have peace in our minds. The belief, the dream, the hope...that one day the world will be a better place. Maybe not even in our lifetime, but someday.
That's how I make it through.
