I can't even imagine what the families must be going through. And I don't know if this story will ever hold true to them because certain events happen and maybe peace can never return, but it's given me comfort when I've been sad. A wise king asked his most faithful servant to find him something that would make him happy when he was sad and sad when he was happy. The servant left on the mission, searching far and wide and finally returned to the king. The servant was haggard and in need of rest but before he collapsed, he told the king, "I have found what you asked for. The thing that will make you happy when you are sad and sad when you are happy are these four words, 'This too shall pass.'"

I am one of the luckiest people in the world, and there are days when I am not grateful. So this is to serve as a reminder to me, but if you read this try to be grateful for what you have in your life and appreciate the wonderful people in your life for all their flaws and eccentricities. I listen to a book on cd called the Silva program. I love one part, where it asks you to look at others as brothers and sisters, children or parents. I think it raises the level of compassion you have for others when you make this connection to them. And I think compassion for others is desperately needed right now.
Hopefully will bring a smile:
My great grandpa was from Greece. He was a very solid man and was purported to have eaten an entire lamb. One day my dad put a piece of plastic cheese on his sandwich. My great grandpa took a bite and chewed and chewed. Once he swallowed it, he said, "hmm tough cheese," and then continued to eat the sandwich. Tough dude!
