victim comp.
There is no amount of money that will ever replace the loss of loved
ones. Money can only serve to hopefully replace the income lost or
provide some other non emotional needs for the material things. It
seems that the notion that lots of money will soothe my pain and make
someone else pay, is a popular thought, however it is erroneous! We can
only look to our Maker and ask for healing direction for the new course
set before us, and the strength to go on that way.
I do not think we should provide money for the "victims" to sue. I don't
think there should be double dipping into the government and the
charities, unless there is not enough money to provide for the true
needs. Many people gave very generously to the charity programs, and I
for one want to know that that money was used, all of it, for its
intended purpose. I would be most unhappy to find that my generosity was
taken advantage of, or squandered on lawyers. I have seen enough greed.
Lets see true appreciation for the generosity shown to the true victims,
by saying thank you and making the best of a painful situation.
