There are no words to describe how senseless this is. I just don't understand this world at times. I can't even wrap my head around this...

Me too. We are never safe anymore anywhere anytime. In the past few years whenever I am in public with my family or even driving I am always in a hyper awareness mode.

We come on this site and talk up a storm about Nikon and photography and even get into arguements about certain subjects. There are even some people on here who preach and think there word is gospel. However, we all lose sight of the more important things in life. In all honesty, none of what we do on this site is really important, except to ourselves and to our ego. In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter what someone else thinks of your picture? Does it really matter if we know that someone does not like a certain feature of a camera? We go on about such mundane and unimportant things most of the times. We really do lose sight of what is most important and that is what we have at this point in time, our life. Just think of all the silly little things we worry about on a daily basis... they really are not worth the time to think about. But i digress.... after a few weeks of media overload, we will all be back to our self-centered, me me me, "what gadget will i get next" ways. That is just the way us stupid humans are.

Very true, but as a hobby this site fills a need and it is important to me. Allot of what you wrote has gone through my head since my daughter was hit by a car and eventually died. We do get caught up in petty things too much and often loose sight of the most important things in our lives. Sometimes at work someone will go off on me about a petty issue and I think to myself that you don't know what real pain is. These families are in a living hell right now and may be forever.

Sory for your loss.

Having lived in N Ireland all my life, and worked through 'The Troubles', and having lost more than my fair share of friends through bombings and shootings, I really do understand the feelings these families are going through right now. Asking why a very intelligent PhD student with his whole life ahead of him kills so many and injures so many more, and not mentioning the emotional and mental scars left on so many who weren't even there (the relatives).

There are some very sick individuals out there, who really do need help; 'deranged' is an understatement.

My thoughts and prayers go to the families of those affected. And to the everyday, normal parents and relatives of the gunman, all of whose lives have been ripped apart forever.

We can't think for one moment what might or might not happen to us. As someone once said, 'What is for you will not go by you', and that's just the way the world is. As said I lived through the very worst of troubles over a period of 41 years, and have been closer to bombs going off and shots being fired than is healthy, but I survived, as did many many others. We just have to face reality that when our number is up, that's it.

In the meantime enjoy life to the full; you only get one chance at it...
