Amy Winehouse, how sad to hear of her death. At this time we can't know for sure but recreational drugs and alcohol insinuate themselves in the lives of so many people and in such a way that for certain people it is simply playing a game with death where death wins and suddenly. Playing to lose, for people with a death wish leaves the living behind when a way of no return opens for death and the very real dimension to the living closes for the one who has no way to come back. Families, loved ones, fans and the the what could have been of a beautiful life washed away forever.
A star, and, we are all stars when it comes down to the fundamentals of it, a star goes supernova and as interesting as that may or may not be (we cannot entirely know but only speculate from the living side of things). Death, one's own personal supernova is particularly sad when it happens to young and otherwise healthy people so of course, I am very saddened to hear Amy Winehouse has died. This is breaking news along with the massacre in Olso where so many innocent young lives have been destroyed.
The Oslo shooter was thankfully captured. He is young and living for the time being at any rate but the question remains of why?
Why? Why not just a self destruction for someone so full of hate and anger? Why destruction of innocent lives? I believe the answer is a very simple one, because it is possible, attainable and doable, plain and simple but, wait there is the question of justice.
I know that long before any trial or appearances, the police in Olso have captured the man responsible who is alive with a story to tell who will wish he were dead but, he won't be dead. He may remain alive and young for a long time to come and from what the press has released, can only serve a limited number of years in jail if he is able to survive the jail experience. The question that comes to mind is whether or not he will survive his jail experience and make a return to society.
We suffer the wars (in the US it's from the distance, it's not rockets, bombings and destruction that we experience just limited news reports) and along with the many wars that are on across the globe we have this too now, another burden of violence and trauma for the world to bear and the sad loss of a beautiful young talent. There is no place of paradise here on earth, there is no peaceful, enlightened country where horrific incidents such as the one in Oslo take place.
Evil is very real and finds a way again to harm innocents who never feared or expected something like this to happen. Our world is darkened yet again.
Prayers are needed for those who suffered and for the families left behind who may never recover from their losses.
Summer takes on a very somber tone and still, prayers go out to the lost and their loved ones and by extension to all of us who will need to heal from this horrible event as we go forward.
