Our need to balance the tragic with the uplifting

Sometimes the news seems even more heartbreaking than usual—a young bride murdered on her honeymoon on that Venice Beach boardwalk, those two little boys killed by a python in Canada, the pregnant woman killed by a falling tree, the usual bombings and random shootings. Because of modern technology, we end up grieving for people around the globe, people we do not know and usually cannot help; all we can do is feel their pain. It can be overwhelming at times; turn on the television or the computer and suddenly you are right there at the scene of a horrific accident or killing, often as it actually unfolds. Little wonder that we need coping mechanisms. So today I am providing two. Read about what the Cleveland Browns did for this little boy with cancer and then watch these videos. I can virtually guarantee they will make you all feel better—however briefly.
