These tragedies seemed to reemphasize the fact that America is not exempt from anything. In recent years, since 9/11 in particular, it seems the public became more aware of the terror that exists in the world. Mentally unstable people paired with a never sleeping media has aided in this realization. Even though the plant in West was not a purposefully malicious act, the accidental or natural disasters are still very real tragedies in American life.
For some, events such as these can cause them to live a life of fear. They let the emotion come into their mind and then it spreads like wildfire throughout the body; it crawls deep into the soul and leaves a burning that cannot be put out. Fear. Its grasp can paralyze your passions and desires so that you forget who you are and who you want to be resulting in an empty-shell ravaged by disease.
The age old questions come to mind: What is life all about? What's the point?
Death is not a wall but a door. Live life fearlessly. The beauty that exists in this world is only a fraction of what is in store for us in eternity. It is waiting for us, but we must live a life worthy of it. How do we do this? Naturally we are not worthy of anything, but if we understand the Grace that was given us and undergo the transformation, life will come a little easier. Of course there will be heartache. Of course there will be challenges. But when you know what is on the other side of the door, you can be fearless.
