I read somewhere that

Humans are beings dictated

By selfish desires.

Huh.

Well, maybe at the base

Of our mortality are

We truly evil enough to only

Be motivated by our own needs.

Maybe our flesh is truly

Controlled by temptations

And weaknesses that

Debase us as a race.

In fact, I'll give you that.

Humans, in their ugliest and

Rawest form are selfish animals.

We take what we want.

We do only that which benefits ourself.

We mourn and grieve death

Because that person is no longer

Around to make our life better.

But that is not everyone.

There are those of us who are motivated

By a desire to help others.

There are those of us who believe in humanity's true potential.

Who have faith in the good that exists,

Who mourn the dead for the dead's sake,

Who reach out in love to heal a wound,

Who have hope for a better tomorrow

Even as they weep silent tears for the events of today.

We are not about killing the killers,

But rather comforting the bereaved.

We rise above revenge

And hatred for the murderer.

We take a moment of silence

For dreams that will never be realized,

For goals that will never be reached,

Love never confessed.

And then we turn to those who are left,

And we mourn.

Not even for individuals

But for humanity.

We mourn that humanity's ugliest side

Has reared its head

And left death in its wake.

We mourn.

And then we turn to the future.

We pray.

And we move forward.
