You know ... sitting and thinking about this.
I've been in some real dark places in my mind many moons ago. I've been angry at the world and everything in it... yet in my darkest most anger and hate filled hour... I would still never have hurt another human being.
To think that someone you love could simply be going about their day, or going to have a quick prayer, and that you'll never see them again.... that cuts me to the core.
I've got family that are muslims and the thought that one day they could head to a prayer session and never return... it's gut wrenching.
I've got other family that aren't (but if you've seen the full video you'll see he drives away and starts shooting randoms through to side window and windscreen of his car whilst in traffic)... to think they could be injured or killed by the hate of another... words can't describe.
Some would have kids, others grandkids, others partners at home waiting whilst they duck out for a quick prayer. Given there was segeration in prayer sessions, the likelyhood of many of these victims now resulting in shattered families, I'm lost for words.
People have lost fathers, grandfathers, husbands, partners, and brothers over this. Others will have lost mothers, grandmothers, wives, partners, and sisters over this.
This sort of hatred needs to stop. Forgetting the religious aspect involved here, those victims had a right to live like everyone else. For that life to be taken away by the hate filled mind of others..it sickens me.
Theres no rewind button, no time machine, no way of reversing what has happened today. All we can do is learn from this and hope that it never EVER happens again.
There's a reason why every single time my wife leaves to go out somewhere, I make it a habit to ensure the last words she hears from me (and I hear from her) are "Love You".. because life can change in an instant.
