How Lucky

We don't realize how lucky we are until something life shattering hits us. Even then, it needs to hit us directly for anyone to even blink and think what it means. At this time the world is so wrapped up in social networking to realize what else is out there. Even this Arizona shooting, I don't think people really thought about it hard. Those people who died will never take another look at this world. They will never even take a simple breath again.

Right now I am reading Nineteen minutesNineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult, it talks about a shooting that takes place in a high school. It shows how it affects each person, from the mother of the shooter to the lawyers to the shooter and the victims themselves. It is interesting how one little thing could potentially tick someone off to do something so violent as going on a killing rampage.
