Thoughts on the attacks in Norway

I am having difficulty wrapping my head around the tragedy in Norway. My heart goes out to the people there. Horrible doesn’t begin to describe what happened.

So far, the response by the citizens, government, and police in Norway seems to be calm, professional, and solemnly appropriate. I hope that they provide an example here, and that we move forward as a world and learn to judge people truly on the content of their character, and not the color of their skin, society’s ideas about their beliefs, or our own personal fears.

As you heal, Norway, hopefully you can help the whole world do the same.
