I know I am answering my own question.... lol..... I think not personally. I think for the brain to function clearly it needs to operate in balance and harmony with human emotions and super-human spirit. In balance with the essence of love's created humanity.

I think we need to always be attentive to providing balance to the truths we learn. It is true that horrific things are there for us to witness but it is also true that there are beautiful things for us to witness in this life. We cleanse by letting go of fantasy and acknowledging reality. The evil and the divine. We carry on because we also know the greatest truth of all.... acts of love and kindness change the world. Your smile can save a life. The power to do good in the world is in each of our hands. We balance evil with the divine in our daily lives. We bring light where there is darkness.

Outrage, apathy, partake..... individual choices with effects and consequences each individual must determine for themselves. I think we can be comforted to know that while evil exists it does not rule the world. I think we can be comforted knowing we each have the power to change our world with each and ever deliberate act of kindness.
