The horrendous murders in Charleston are a reminder that evil exists.
It is surprising how often many of us forget that fact. We live in a world in which atrocities abound and where it would be more accurate to say "Peace broke out." War and violence are the norm.
But notice how it doesn't take long before personal accountability and evil are downplayed and other reasons are cited. Rather than running after the cause du jour as an explanation, we may learn far more by perusing some of the recent biographies of Adolf Eichmann.
As for the victims and their families, words cannot begin to express the pain and grief. All decent people, regardless of where they live, were harmed in that church in Charleston.
We have all suffered a loss.
