Boston Marathon tragedy

             Low and behold another tragedy has struck America, shaking it to its core. However this time it was not a federal building targeted in an act of terror, instead the innocence and excitement of the Boston Marathon; a very popular and competitive race. The fact that a bomb went off during this event is all in all appalling thing to happen. I honestly feel that the past year throughout America has been in a tailspin, with the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado, Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting, and countless other acts of violence displayed in the U.S. The irony of the Boston Marathon bombing was that it was dedicated to the 26 people (teachers and students) who were killed at the Sandy Hook shooting. The event that was honoring and mourning a tragedy in fact turned into its own tragedy. I feel the overall inhumanity and cruelty displayed in our country is at an all time high and does not seem to be slowing down. However, sorting through all the negatives of the bombing, there were some glimmers of hope with Boston residents as well as sympathetic people across the globe. People demonstrating the strong sense of America that founders hoped to be implemented; with citizens offering meals, clothing, shelter, rides and their overall help to comfort those affected by the disaster. Although a great catastrophe has struck Boston, our nation's resiliency as well as its overall courage seems to counteract the acts of terror that have been presented to us.
