I agree, listening to others our inner self and our bodies is vital. We all have the tools &#8211; yet we fail to use them successfully. A &#8220;lesson in listening&#8221; should be taught in all schools from a very early age and continued throughout our lives.</p>

I would have been so scared if I were around gunshots. I&#8217;m not used to being around acts of violence.<br />
I once rented a summer cottage in Martha&#8217;s Vinyard and one of the neighbors was beating the living daylights out of their spouse. I called the police and they arrested the husband but, I was so upset by seeing this I couldn&#8217;t sleep all night. </p>
<p>I can&#8217;t imagine how terrifying it must be to be around gun violence. All this violence we&#8217;re witnessing is a reflection of what&#8217;s going on inside of us as a culture. I&#8217;m not sure how exactly what this sentiment is though? Could it be we, as a society, feel so uncertain about our futures and that we lack any control or stability that we must bolster our flagging confidence with violent acts toward others?
