It's been over twenty-four hours & I'm still messed up about what happened with Boston. I have nothing but the most fervent hope that those who are injured get well & that whatever psychopath or -paths responsible get their just desserts post haste.
But I wish people would stop saying "we're praying for the victims" or "keeping the people there in our prayers." Why? Hannibal Buress put it far better than I could:
So I can hope there's resolution & that everyone will be all right, & I can trust in humans to take care of each other in this crisis, & I can try to believe our police forces & government are competent enough to bring whoever did this to justice. But prayer? I simply don't understand how that's in any way a consolation.
