I wish them better than the fate that her father premeditatedly planned for others. In fact they already have that.

How many people lost their fiance to the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars? Their beloveds coming home in a box? How many marriages never happened because the returning soldiers came home severely injured, have PTSD or even committed suicide? How many just wait and hope that their loved ones who are at war stay safe? Their hearts in their throats every time the phone rings?

Yes, Jenna and Henry, you are already ahead of the game, in your safe, snug, smug, insulated world. Congratulations.

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing that it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder the hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiples violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. Martin Luther King
