In the aftermath of yet another horrific tragedy, we fly the American flag at half mast. And we ask... why? Why the senseless killing, maming, carnage? Whether it comes at the hand of a deliberate killer, a tragic accident or an act of nature, it's an old, old question that never gets answered - the question of human suffering.
I don't think the "why" question has answers this side of eternity, but we do have a choice in how we respond to seemingly senseless suffering. There is a foolish, human way and there is a wise, godly way.
Today, I will suggest the way of the fool....
W.H.Y.?
W -- Wallow in it. Think about the specific tragedy often, focusing on loss, futility and depressing details.
H -- Hopelessness. Remind yourself that nothing will ever change. Life's a bitch and then you die.
Y -- trust Yourself and your response. Allow cynicism to take hold.
Stay tuned for the way of the wise, tomorrow.
