Photo from the Tennesee shootings where four heroes had their lives taken from them (Not OC)

Pure cowardice to attack unarmed men and women. Take on someone your own size, equipped with th same weapon, looking right at you. Gun violence, bombings, where will it end? Humans have been here for countless years and still feel the need for violence against those who don't see the world the way they do. That is cowardice. Tolerance takes strength. We only get so long on this earth then who knows what happens after that. We are not animals, yet we can act with the most brutality than we've ever seen. Look inward, find the strength to accept someone else as they are without condition. The message of hate and evil does not last and all you are essentially doing is wasting a lifetime that could be devoted to being lights of the world making it a better place, not perpetuating hate and darkness, it's FOOLISH! To the armed assholes who randomly attack and spread evil, you're cowards. No one is going to be on guard 24/7 and that's what you exploited. You should feel belittled. You have no power. Real power comes from life and those who perpetuate it. You might think you have power by controlling it or even taking it away, but you're wrong, and you always will be. Almost every religious text may start with darkness but life blooms and light is spread across the world. Light will always shine in darkness. Even if you don't believe in anything, believe in your own heartbeat, and the belief that it was meant to be. It is only through unity that we as a people can make the world a better place to live for everyone. I don't have answers, but I have a heart that beats for those in need and the compassion to help them. The marines that had their lives taken from them took an oath to protect and serve not only the United States but the world. Rest in peace heroes.
