Unpopular? Uncaring?

I just don't understand humans. Really I don't. I try but as I age I'm just more confused.

The tragedy is awful, beyond awful. Words cannot express.

I do understand and I empathize.

That's where it ends for me. 

I will not watch, read or discuss it with others. I do not care to rehash it or dwell on it. I can't. I won't. 

I won't get sucked in to feeling depressed. I don't want to keep it going, give the awfulness strength. 

I take from it: Life is short. It reminds us all the time.

For some, it's too short. 

I think we have to keep that in perspective.

Turning off your holiday lights. Stopping the joy of Christmas. Feeling guilty. Continuing to dwell on it.

That is not living and I don't feel it's helping anyone or anything.

I realize everyone grieves and handles things in their own way. I get that. I don't always understand it, but I get it.

Life isn't when, life is this, here, now.
