Boston Marathon Bombings, Tragedy of Terror and Peace


Every third Monday of April there is an annual Boston Marathon. Boston Marathon has a long history of tradition, and its’ popularity and scale is worldwide. But last year, a terrible tragedy occurred. Four hours after the start of the marathon, a bomb terror went off at the finish-line killing and wounding so many people. The scene was a disaster: people were covered in blood, missing body parts, screaming and crying was all over the street. A marathon that was supposed to be peaceful and meaningful turned into a brutal terror scene. Many people will be in pains even today just remembering the day.

It was a while ago, I have seen a peace advocate on a US news, and I was touched by him. His name is Man Hee Lee. He went around the globe to achieve world peace. He met presidents and religious leaders of countries to spread peace. If people around the globe truly wants world peace, there won’t be any wars, terrors in our future. In few days, this year’s Boston Marathon is being held. I really hope there won’t be any tragedy ever again, and let this marathon become enjoyable and peaceful event.
