Blame.....SOMEONE!

It's what we do best. We blame. We can not find an acceptable rationale-mostly because it is outside of our ability to conceive of the act in the first place-so, we assert blame. Let's blame the College Police. Let's blame the immigrant community. Let's blame the mental health system. Let's blame the gun manufacturers (ok-well that is relevant). But truly we humans must have a reason. Why? Its the question we ask always. It is how we have progressed as a species. We ask WHY. Asking why the blood acquires a virus, asking why the weather is changing, asking why a child cries are questions that we can answer. Asking why a man shoots apparently random victims....not going to get that answer. Even if he remained alive, would we ever be satisfied with his answer? Accepting that these things happen is the hardest thing we humans can do and it seems so passive. Instead we try to DO something, and blame is active.
Grief is passive-it sits heavy on the soul and won't let go until it is time. How does this knowledge get disseminated? It doesn't. One has to experience it-like the taste of food. Description is just not enough. The best we can hope for is that it passes sooner then later. Life goes on and it is our prime directive-to survive, to remember,and ultimately, to learn.
