I couldn't watch the news tonight.  One hundred and forty four dead children and teachers.  Vengeance once more has reared its ugly head.  Vengeance brings out the worst in humans.  It breeds in humans darkness, anger, pain and suffering.  When God said vengeance was mine, He was protecting us from the worst in ourselves.  I have learned to tell myself to let God take care of the offender.  In my life, forgiveness has opened the door to relief and healing.  I will never understand how an individual can knowingly be so dark and evil as to take such evil revenge on innocent children.
