We can not comprehend what belief or loss of faith ... what right or wrong ... what vision or darkness ... what deed or inaction - can have driven one group of human beings to cold-bloodedly visit such suffering and anguish on so many of their brothers and sisters ... and still remain sane.

We can only pray that we never know what they believed they knew ... never experience what turned them away from their innate humanity - and turn back to a world that needs, as it ever did, caring souls who see beyond all those insubstantial distinctions of colour, shape, location, politics and faith to care for those who know that we must make this imperfect world work ... that destroying it will not usher in the utopia ... that we only change the world for the better by the small kindnesses of one human to another written a millionfold.
