To see a beautiful city and its inhabitants under sporadic, senseless attack is sobering. As the death toll rises, it's not hard to feel like the world is headed in such a direction that it can never be put back together again. But from what I've read today; the people of Paris will not be intimidated and will continue to live the lives that their civil and revolutionary history has made possible.
Of course the Paris tragedy is one of many others that we've seen this month and is in no way more or less important than them. Emotions are what make us human and can't always be subdued in the spirit of fairness. So while I wont be changing my facebook profile picture like many others in my news feed have; I will not judge them for it. We are all sad today, for the loss of beautiful life near and far.
