Along with the rest of the nation, I watched in horror as the tragedy and travesty in Boston unfolded before our very eyes this past Monday. Together, we are heartbroken at the loss of precious lives and limbs. And we can only pray that those who are in the hospital recover and are able to join their loved ones at home soon. We, as a nation and as human beings, have witnessed an evil that leaves us psychologically scarred if not completely traumatized.
Many of us are itching to know who did this and what their motivations were. I wish I had an answer to those questions. But I suspect at least this much: Whoever it was and whatever their motivation, they were ultimately driven by a raw human emotion — the same terrible feeling they wanted to inflict on others — which is none other than fear.
