Again

I really wanted to write about cats today, but, again, horror has erupted. College night at a Country bar in California gunned down. Why? I have no idea and, at this point, as far as we are being told, neither does anyone else.
We must begin to acknowledge, I am coming to believe that there is no reason. Not in any way we normally think of reasons. Anger, terrorism, political motive, what does it matter. Insanity is what is happening. The cause of insanity may simply be insanity.
I am beginning to believe that insanity is like a virus. It infects people and spreads, sort of a psychic flu. It may be time to stop trying to deal rationally with the  irrational. I reluctantly think that at almost any public gathering there needs to be someone, or several someones who are armed. The minute a shooter pills a gun, shoot them. This is what you would do with a rabid animal and there is not much else to be done.
On a day to day basis, we as those still untouched by this horrible virus must stay spiritually strong. Look to your higher angels and stay calm and compassionate. I know of no other effective course of action. Such strength can spread from one person to another and, often, heal those taken by 'the virus.'
Be very careful about the what you watch and read and think. Watch what you say. When angry, calm yourself.
We are in a battle with an enemy we cannot see. Where it comes from, what it wants, we do not know. What we do know is that every culture on Earth has beliefs in spirit beings who are malevolent.
For now, keep cool. and pray, in whatever manner you choose, for a return to normalcy. It is unlikely that the human race will ever be rid of these waves of violence. They have happened before and will almist surely happen again. Just remember, that we have the tools to fight back and, always, these waves pass. Blessings on all of you.
