Today was not a very happy Monday. Unfortunately, during the Boston Marathon, three bombs exploded, killing two people, and injuring 86. I am completely disgusted by the fact that America has had so many similar incidents in the past year. How can people be so sick that they want to kill people, let alone a little 8-year-old girl? I can't understand it. These people had just finished running a marathon, they were in a jubilant atmosphere, when suddenly bombs just explode right in front of them.
It did make me feel a little better to learn that some marathon runners, after they finished the race, continued running to the hospital so they could donate blood. Also, the firefighters, the police, the medics, and even the bystanders, who rushed to help as much as they could, behaved admirably today. Even though there are plenty of sick people out there who want to hurt innocent people, there are also people who sacrifice their safety in times of tragedy, and they are the heroes. I try to focus on my admiration for them rather than my disgust for murderers.
Carpe Diem,
Brooke
