I can't help but feel Pope Francis here must be one of the saddest people on earth at this time. Imagine reaching the pinnacle of power in an institution you have devoted your whole life to and, even after all the rationalization of past atrocities committed by your church you must have done, yet again still having to apologize for more of them. His sadness must suffocating. If he is even a fraction of the holy man any Pope should be, and i think Pope Francis probably rates fairly highly on that score relative to other before him, the sadness he must be feeling in this photo would be almost unbearable. No wonder he is thinking of stepping aside.

To this one in which there is some life, some connectivity, given to the terrible tragedy of totally unnecessary and unjustifiable death. I've never seen such a gesture of humanity expressed in any of our Western countries. We place flowers, that's something. Placing the one who has died in the last place of living seems to say so much more.

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
