“This is the type of event that changes your definitions. What is evil? What is loss?” What is fear?
As we once again hear the collective sigh of helplessness at the news of yet another senseless shooting, I could not help but be moved by the recent anonymous quote, noted above, from a Virginia Tech student. Fear continues to reign. Fingers are being pointed at the living for not noticing and doing something about the apparently troubled shooter. And now there is a fear of backlash and further violence against others. I literally cannot express my outrage of continued extreme fear-based actions. What drives us at Shift to assist people to move away from Fear towards Love is expressed perfectly by Rhonda Britten in her blog. Please check it out - and for those who don’t know Rhonda’s history, she has faced death head on and is surviving to help others.
