Real life...better than fiction

[Chris James]

I was stunned when I read this today and it only gives further proof that truth can hit harder than any fiction pretends to do. Be prepared, this is not a story with a happy ending. I wish my attempts at tragic scenes could hit this hard. Easy to say we always want to see the bully get his, but not like this. I don't know what else to say...just read:

It's always tragic to read about people in such pain, and to read about people sacrificing their life out of hatred. It happens, though. Perhaps if there was less preaching of hatred, there'd be less tragedy because of it.

I like to think things are changing, and at a geometric rather than arithmetric pace. School kids these days are being taught tolerance and acceptance and these values are permeating our culture. Is that why some religious institution are becoming more outrageous, more strident in their cries again homosexuality? Because they're losing the battle and know it?

I've never understood why they were fighting it in the first place.
