All Americans must seek more peaceful living

Why is it always the good ones who die before their time?
This girl, Christina Green, was something else - she lived each day with vibrance and beautiful energy. She was on an extraordinary path and had the vision of a very old soul. But, tragically and unnecessarily, she died at the budding age of 9 in the Arizona shooting. So sad.
I think the highest response any American can make to this tragedy is to spend time in deep reflection, asking ourselves how we personally can make our country a more peaceful place.
