no apologies needed -- it's disheartening when we hear of seemingly senseless tragic acts of inhumanity -- and even more disheartening when these events touch us personally. Worst of all is our feelings of powerlessness (both here and everywhere in the world where violence takes hold.). I think your essay, trying to understand, is one way of fighting back against despair.
