Boston Marathon Bombing

I would just like to talk about the bombing on Monday.
I was actually in boston during Christmas, and I had wanted to see the boston marathon this year. It seems ironic, and you may feel like that by saying that, I'm treating this as a joke. I'm not. I feel very sorry for the people who lost their lives, were critically injured, or injured. I'm sorry for the people that had to face that, including those who have had one of their loved ones hurt.
The thing is, that's all I have to say on the subject. I live in Texas, and something happening all the way in Boston is merely a ripple on my life. The blog post before this, and the one after will not talk about this event, and they will be just like my normal posts. So I'll make another apology to everyone who may read this: I'm sorry that I cannot truly share your grief, and that I can live my life happily and carefree while yours may be hurt. I'm sorry, and I really don't think this post is in any way beneficial to you, except maybe to explain the actions of people similar to me that you may meet. If anything, this may make you feel worse, but this is my public sadness for the terrible event, and this is really all I can say.

To the other people, whether or not you have any relation to this incident, I am telling you not to lose hope in America. I read in the newspaper today a quote from the father of a person who lost their legs, saying something along the lines of "I'm beginning to really lose faith in this country."
Even if you are not American and are reading this, I would still ask you to maybe say a short prayer for the victims. For the Americans, I would like to say that America is trying its best. This one incident is one out of thousands of incidents that have been prevented. However hard it tries, nothing is perfect. No one is perfect. Our country, and the people within it, have flaws, but we are working our hardest together to overcome those flaws to make this land a better place. We the people, right? We have to stick together and not break apart because of one tragic event, or we'll never be able to handle further attacks in the future. Have you ever heard the phrase "you need to make mistakes to learn"? While you probably heard that for little, simplistic things, such as messing up on math homework or forgetting your keys somewhere, it also applies to this. We will use this event to improve ourselves, maybe by tightening security, maybe by raising awareness.

Don't lose faith in your country, and try the best to overcome this obstacle and set our country on a path to recovery.
