Boston Marathon bombing

I believe that what happened yesterday was an astounding tragedy that has resounded across the nation with it's utter horror. The fact that somebody, or a group of people, would orchestrate the pain, suffering, and death of innocents brings disgust and loss of faith in humanity to my heart. However, on the other side of that same coin, there are people who have been rushing to aid these people, whether it be relief efforts or normal citizens who want to give blood for a good cause. That shows that, while there may be awful people who do awful things, there are also good people who will try to pick up the pieces every single time. The city of Boston itself has responded well to the situation, deploying bomb squads throughout the city and shutting down cell service for it's inhabitants' own safety. My only wish is for situations like this to be dealt with in the future, before they harm anyone, by being extremely careful and aware that we are put in dangerous situations every day, and it takes everyone to ensure our safety as a country.

I honestly think these heros were the reason I was able to "keep it together" last night. Thank heaven for those who risk themselves for the good of others.
