Malaysia Air Flight 17: Let Grief, Not Anger, Guide Us

Posted: 07/25/2014
The downing of Malaysia Airlines flight 17 by a missile over rebel held territory in the eastern Ukraine is a tragedy that senselessly ended 298 lives. But to avoid more such catastrophes, we need to let grief, not anger, guide our response. Anger clouds sound judgment; it allows the current tragedy to become a seed for new ones. We need to grieve not only for the 298 lives lost, but also for our past mistakes which helped lay the foundation for their deaths.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/martin-hellman/malaysia-air-flight-17_b_5622185.html?1406324705
