(On December 8, 1945, of Japan time, US Navy bases in the Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, were attacked by the Imperial Navy of Japan mobilizing 350 carrier-based attack planes.
On December 8, 1980, in New York, John Lennon, then living with his second and Japanese wife, was killed by a gunman, born in Hawaii, regarded as being mentally troubled.
Before the incident, John Lennon, a kind of British working-class hero, released a new song titled "Starting Over."
However, I had been far more impressed with "Mind Games" released several years before. John Lennon's soul seemed to look like suddenly getting into a dark fight then.
His Japanese wife was born and raised extremely rich but lonesome in a Japan' prominent family, and became a very unique lady with little common to the Japanese working class.
The John Lennon's death seems to have been a result of three lonely souls converging to a certain point in New York when the Vietnam era was completely over.
Any tragedy could be used by the God Almighty as a warning to His loving people and tribe or simply for a manifestation of His glory.
[I would confess that I also loved the Beatles' happy songs such as "All My Loving," of course, when I was young, so much younger than today.])
