"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that"
— Martin Luther King Jr
Every has struggles and everyone must decide for themselves how to handle this. Bin Laden was horrific! But he wasn't the first and he won't be the last. We run into people everyday that are evil. It does exist! When something tragic happens I take solace in the Amish community that lost many children in the school house shooting. They forgave the gunman. I think to myself, " how does one forgive some thing of this magnification" and yet they did.
We must quietly go about our business.
