But I still believe that no good ultimately comes of taking satisfaction in the deaths of others - it still does not 'justify' the death of the one you loved, does not bring them back, and does not take the pain away. <br /><br />I understand the relief people would feel that a dangerous man is gone, I may even share that. But I still cannot condone how his life ended or the celebrations of it. This is not what Jesus called for.

I also remember watching the tv with with confused emotions of disgust (and confusion?) when I saw so many people gathering together, celebrating the 'glorious' occasion, saying that it was the happiest day of their lives or that their lives were 'fulfilled' now. Personally I know that finding true closure for these people who have lost family etc. would mean forgiving, but I wonder if some of them actually find some trace of true closure in his death. Albeit a bad way for it to come about, I'm not sure whether to feel happy or sad for those people.Jonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06702831946214453736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37068033.post-19034065458606868332011-07-12T22:56:45.386+10:002011-07-12T22:56:45.386+10:00I wish everyone would read this.
