In the USA we have been flooded with the imiage of the Boston horror. What this has done for me, is start me thinking. Now that my fear and pain for the situation has had time to settle a bit I thought what if we look at this a different way. Please bear with me. A young boy, eight years old was killed, but just maybe this was the main event. That young boy carried a sign with a message, stop hurting each other. (I don't know if I got this exactly right) But this was what it meant.
Now at first glance, this seems somewhat unimportant, in fact most of us may not even have noticed his sign. But because of what happened to him, this sign now has all of our attention. Could this have been his sole purpose in this lifetime? If you can accept this as a possibility, then you must also see the brothers as necessary just as Judis was necessary for Christ to send his message. Does this mean that without the horror, the rest of us never give our attention to the purpose?
Or is this just another senseless act of terror, meant to attract our attention
to that fact that terror walks among us? Are these things just random? Is the sign nothing more than the wish of a child? Thoughts"

If there are indeed no coincidences, no accidents, and nothing just (happens) by chance, this young boy with the sign knew (on an unconscious level) that his earthly life was closing.He had chosen this life for reasons of his own, and perhaps the sign (Please don't hurt Others) was just the icing on the cake!
The terrorists (on the other hand) picked up some very heavy karma, which must be worked out in future lifetimes!

violence and terror is something that will remain a part of humanity for as long as it lasts. The only thing that will stop needless violence will be alien intervention or extinction of the human race.
It is unfortunate, but many outside factors like religion, race and gender always will be encountered in different ways by different peoples, some of which will always cause tension, aggression and war. These clashes in thought or way of life are part of what multicultural society enables.
