Anyone else here feeling helpless about all the train bombings. Makes my stomach sick to know "human beings" are capable of doing such things to innocent people.

I try my best to trust that there is a higher plan and that everything happens for a reason but stories like these really test me.

Anyway, it hasn't been mentioned on the boards yet so I thought I'd be the first to say I'm disturbed by what took place and am sending my prayers out to the people affected.

If there's a higher plan and everything happens for a reason, then whoever's in charge of that is one sick and cruel bastard.

MYB -

Those are my initial thoughts as well. Hence why I'm tested.

My cousin's boyfriend's parents just flew in from that area. Woah.

I feel horrible and helpless, too. I just went to a city in southern India in January and the people I went with had a friend who was on the train at an earlier time. I think he's fine, but I feel so bad for all the victims and their families.

It is a horrible thing, but even though it does make me wonder why people can do these things to one another, it doesn't test me. God gave us all free will. Those that have done this IMO will get their punishment later.

As to what we can do, are any of our organizations going to help? Red Cross, etc?
