Last Friday, December 14, 2012, a young man in Connecticut killed his mother, then went on a shooting rampage at nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School. The final grisly result was 28 people dead (including the gunman). Twenty small children were killed.
People try to make sense of these atrocities. They always ask, "Why? How?" We may never find suitable answers to these questions. I do know one thing, though: When something like this happens, it underscores how fragile and precious our time on this planet is. We should all try to make the best of it - and spread some joy, love and compassion.
