Wednesday Wonders

I wonder what people are thinking!?!

In light of the events over the last 9.5 years, since that fateful morning September 11, 2001, I am very happy that Al Queda's number one was taken out. 

But really, does the media need to show the bloody room all over TV?  Do people really need to demand that the government release video and images of Osama Bin Laden's death and corpse after death? 

I know I'm a huge crime-scene-drama buff, but it's different when it's a real death as opposed to an actor that will get up as soon as the cameras are off.  I guess it's safe to say that I'm not desensitized to it at all.

No, I don't agree with the death penalty either.  Taking an eye for an eye doesn't make anyone see any better, it only leaves two people more wounded than when they started. 

There was a quote circulating around FB- that I posted proudly to my profile- that turned out to be a fraudulent quote, it was not said by Dr Martin Luther King Jr.  Either way, I still agree with it. 

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.  Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoice of stars.  Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

No, I don't love the terrorists who chose to slaughter thousands of innocent people, but I choose to pray for their souls, that God judge them fairly based on how they chose to live their lives.  It is not my place to judge, so this is the most I can do.
