Dear Journal;

The tragedies that have happened over the past weeks have been many and monstrous.  Why can’t we all just act like human beings and solve things without violence? Only God knows.  People can’t seem to weigh the value of human life, but then again if ten must die to save hundreds then I suppose….

Mob mentality has seemed to take people over; causing men to do thing that no one would do alone, unwarranted executions and such.  I fear for my life as well, even though I am well respected in the community and most men love me I find it impossible not to think it could be a possibility with all the recent happenings.

Change must come about, and soon or it will be too late for all of us.  Violence however is not the answer, it’s the problem.  Men have been abusing their power right from Cain and Abel.  We seem unable to not fight one another, we must take what is our, no one will give it to us.  It’s a sad world we live in were violence seems the only answer, but we must look for one other than killing each other.

If we use violence to bring about change then we are no better than those who have used it for years to force us into oppression.  We must take a stand; make a battle, against violence.

The Lord calls us all to not kill one another, but to embrace each other as brother.  Invite one another to share our tables in times of trouble, and feast at theirs in times of need.

If we cannot learn to share, and work for the betterment of the nation then we will accomplish nothing.  The poor will become rich and the rich poor, then they will revolt in another hundred years.  Violence brings violence.  It’s when people sit down and think rationally that problems get solved.

We french people must follow the peaceful teachings of God and strive to be more peaceable; the only problem that remains is convincing other of this point’s validity.
In these times of trouble may God watch over us all,
Jean
