5. This is so horrific

This kind of violence is becoming too horrible to bear. And it's everywhere, from gangs in our own neighborhoods (the AK-47 assault in a city park here in Chicago this week), to governments (the gassing in Syria), to this (apparent Somali retribution for Kenyan involvement). Not to mention the schools shootings, the marathon terrorism, etc. etc. I am beginning to be unable to stomach much more. It feels like the entire world has gone violent.
