When visiting US one of the phrases which touched me the most is “Freedom is not free” carved on the hero of wars mausoleum.

And indeed it is not. We have to listen, understand and look at all angles of our lives before seeking an explanation elsewhere.

I’m also deeply concerned that a “witch hunt” may be lurking in the future when people may be pushed to see the ones which are different as enemies and find a “quick” solution to a problem which developed in a long time.
I hope that love, compassion and long term logic will prevail when we remember the horror at Sandy Hook.
