Towering above

It has come to light that an ill wind has blown through and wrecked havoc among those whose lives are already with stress and burden. I know that this sounds cryptic but in order for me to be more specific would only put detriment to the lives that surround the issue. I would also only prove slanderous considering everything I have heard is from 3rd person point-of-view. Given what I already know from history it seems that in the process of what some people would term as help and support in actuality only caused strife and grief. Overall, the only accomplishment achieved may in fact harm the innocent. What is the root cause of harm? Why do people not get along? When will people understand that the little things need to be resolved and pave room for the larger issues at hand? How does one confront issues that take one from a comfort zone? Where will hate lead us all? I took this picture on a May cloudy Friday in downtown Chicago. Not a peek of sun would show through the overcast sky. When I first took the picture I remembered attending a graduation at the Fourth Presbyterian Church almost 10 years ago. The church is one of peace and serenity, with tranquil settings that are not seen from the busy downtown streets. The John Hancock building is seen as a behemoth set next to the church. I have tried to answer the question "Why would they say such a thing?" And the only answers that I could come up with are the inadequacies that one might feel when compared to the other and thus harboring jealousy in the end. Regardless of the real answer, hateful words have set the course of events into a tail spin and only those whose hearts are pure and strong can overcome the consequences of hate.

Nice... that's the kind of angle I like taking pictures from. Your pictures are great... I'm envious... I should whip out my camera and practice more.
