Mes larmes pour tous

Happened to be in the vicinity of the French Embassy just now, so i stopped by for a moment. I'd like to think that if i were near the Lebanese Embassy, or for that matter, any embassy of any country afflicted by such a senseless mass loss of innocent lives as France has just been, i'd feel compelled to do the same, but i can't yet truthfully say that i would. Am not trying to be preachy here (for i still fall short myself), but still, as we mourn the Paris tragedy, perhaps it's also timely to remember that no one single life, regardless of religious belief, ethnicity, nationality, social status or any other distinguishing factor, is any less precious and valued than that of any other.
The context behind the following quote may be rather different from the current situation, but i think it rings true nevertheless.
"Let my heart be broken with the things that break the heart of God."
- Bob Pierce
