Cause and Effect

The horrific acts by a 22-year-old gunman in Kauhajoki Finland Tuesday put me to question
the effects of such violence unleashed upon the world..
I do not wish to embellish the shooter by publishing his name...I do not wish to make account of the incident or responses of that community and all those across the world it has impacted..
My doing so may inadvertently add weight and power to the enormous volume of pain it has already created..
Details are widely attained if it is your interest...
For myself there is no consolation in the aftermath of such violence that this man is now dead..
That he can no longer be the cause of further violence..
My motivation is rather the response we as individuals living lives in the same world may have...
Initially I shake my head and question Why?
What is the use of it?..Why is this kind of act allowed in a universe that has no value other than the process of the continuance of life?
When the shock of that question has time to stabilize the answer is obvious...If I am willing to bear it..
If I can honestly deal with the truth..
I can't go there today though...
Man, I can't even begin to surmount a argument in support of some
self inflicted tid bit of contemplation that fly's in the window due to the catastrophe that this universe is...
...I am sorry....I am just too fucking upset.
What I do have is the following to help me get through this day...I am writing it in hopes it will help you through also..
The cause and effect of this world...What makes a good thing come in to the world, or a bad thing come into the world are both independent of one another...One cause can not over come the other...
A million bad causes can not take over the world as long as there is one good cause included in the world.
So, today I am gonna' try real hard to put out good causes in the universe...Yeah, I guess it's to make me feel better too...But I feel bad you know?...I feel bad for the universe today...I think the universe needs some tender loving care..
