What I noticed about people in our society is that when tragedy strikes, people step forward to help. This showed up after Hurricane Sandy disrupted life in NJ and NY and now after the sweet, innocent children and school faculty were mowed down by the mentally unstable young man this past Friday in Newtown, CT.
There is only one funeral home in the community of Newtown, CT. Funeral directors from other cities in CT and NY came forward to help in the massive undertaking of preparing for the burial of the victims. They like many before them, didn't hesitate in offering their services without expecting anything in return. I say this is part of human nature. Compassion, kindness, giving back is really what we are about as humans and it's what gives us the most satisfaction for living a fulfilling life.
Heroes stories get recognized and heard through the media. I think it became more prevalent after September 11th. There will always be troubled people in our society; mother nature recking havoc and unforeseen challenges we have to deal with. But there will always be special people and more and more of them stepping forward to help where they can. Thank you, you are appreciated and I am glad and proud to be an American.
