Even for me the news recently has been really grim. The Foley thing is just... disgusting. Every time I read about that story I want to take a shower.
And then there was this horrible massacre at an Amish school. Which is even darker and more horrible. But then, in the middle of that is this one wonderful note. Apparently the Amish met with some counselors after the incident and amongst there questions was this; "Would it be alright if we took dinner to the family of the shooter?" They had already forgiven him and his family. Leave it to people many of us would call backwards, or at least luddites, to show us exactly what being civilized really means. From this, we all can learn a great, great deal.
