Spread kindness

Family members of the accused bombers have gotten threats, peaceful Muslims have been assaulted by uncivilized thugs. This kind of mean jerkiness fosters violence in our society.

A common thread of many or most of the mass killings we have had, is that the perpetrators have felt rejected, often harassed and bullied. I know from personal experience how mean our society can be. If we sow hatred, it will come back to hurt us. When we are kind to others, we help our society become safer.

I'm not advocating allowing others to bully us. In my experience, that just emboldens them.

I also note that the bombers are of an age when schizophrenia is most likely to manifest itself. This could result in religious fanaticism. Not that all religious fanatics are schizophrenics, just that it is a possible.

I am greatly saddened by the whole thing. The tragedy for the injured, and the relative who lost loved ones, and for the family of the apparent bombers, and also for the bombers. A person must be filled up with rage and unhappiness to do such a thing.
