Tribute to the people who died in Paris

[Heat]

So yeah..my mood just changed after reading tweets from people who were personally affected by Paris killings. I hardly ever cry, even when very sad, but am crying right now. I've never cried hearing about killings before, i am usually very unsuprised by them, and am quite strong minded when it comes to this stuff. Don't know why this feels different. After reading tweets from a girl whose father was injured and putting myself in her shoes i feel deeply sad right now. This is my personal tribute to those who died; Lives may have ended today, and after they do you can imagine the historical timeline as a pond, and every time death occurs, a rock being thrown in to it, so my personal hope, tribute, and thank you to those who died in Paris is that even though I don't believe in god, I hope the ripple you made in history was wide, that each and every one of you who died, died knowing that even though your life may have ended by the cruel despicable actions of others, you will live on in the people you have effected, the good deeds you did, that even the most recluse people out of the 140 of you that died, effected much more than just your family, and that even if you just effected one person, the effects will be seen in 10s of hundreds of people who have yet to be born, because you have influenced the way that one person will influence others, and just like that, one person becomes exponentially larger. You were a part of history, uniquely, and changed the human race hopefully for the better, even if unknowingly.

Very kind tribute.  I feel the same.

A truly heartfelt and unironic amen.

I didn't know any of those people, I have no real feelings towards it. The social expectation for me to have feelings towards people and events I was not remotely involved in I find to be extremely odd especially when events more tragic that claim more lives happen everyday yet the same social stigma doesn't apply. The level of coverage and the T word really seems to be the only determining factors.
Should there be some sort of charity to help those affected by it I would be happy to contribute? That really should be what counts.

The terrorists took deliberate actions to kill disabled people who were simply out for an evening of relaxation.
