RC's Journal- 14/12/12 "Both Sides of the Coin"

RC's Journal

December 14th, 2012.

Seen both sides of the coin today. Shooting in the state of Connecticut today, among the dead include shooter and grade-school children. One of those moments in which you remember again the darkest depths that humanity can sink to. A moment that makes you remember that you are capable of the same. Not an angel, not exempt from the meat grinder and sins of the world which you see in life.

Was in a restaurant this afternoon. Had a lady up there in age asking me whether I was studying in table. Told her that I was merely reading a Time magazine article, though confirming that exams are approaching. She wishes me the best of luck, and I wish her a good day. Interactions remind me of being around Leenda.

Emotions overwhelming. Walked the 30+ minutes to the nearest target to buy lighter and candles. Forced march back to room, set three of the candles ablaze, took a photo of them and posted it on FB and Twitter.

My journey to re-enter humanity begins with this small step.

Here's to the victims
