Torn

Osama Bin Laden is dead. An evil man will no longer be able to hurt people. For that I am glad. But I am torn as to how to feel tonight. Do I rejoice at a man's death? Even when that man is an evil man who killed thousands of people?


And yet I am saddened by the levity with which people are speaking of this event. A lack of appropriate seriousness. A lightness of behavior and speech. I am not sad that he is dead, but I am disgusted that one man's evil deeds can cause people to celebrate death. Even if it is his own.
