I Just Don't Understand

I was in the middle of writing a post about Pokemon Go over the last few days (sometimes it takes a few days to get a post done) but I can't bring myself to finish it after the events of last night in Nice, France.

We live in what is statistically the safest time in human history.

We have more information at our finger tips than anyone else has ever had.

Science and medicine have extended our lives to ages previously unheard of.

And yet there are those who instead of living, and letting live, feel the need to wreak destruction upon others.

I can't wrap my head around it. I don't have a lot to say about it either.

My heart aches for the families torn apart by senseless violence.

"My god is better than your god" is probably one of the most pointless arguments I can think of. If your religion/god can't handle a few non-believers then you need a new religion/god.

I'm angry.
I'm upset.

I can't protect my little girl from all the evil of the world, or those who would hurt her for the reason of being female, or not of a certain religion or race, or some other totally stupid and irrelevant reason.

Right now, I am just thankful that she is too young to understand the horrible things that happen in our world, and that at least for a few more years her innocence will prevail and continue to give me hope for the future.
