Patton Oswalt on Boston Marathon Explosions [PHOTOS]: 'Young Adult' Comedian's Inspiring Facebook Post Goes Viral in Response to Patriots' Day Tragedy

On Monday, April 15, 2013, the city of Boston was in the middle of celebrating the country's Patriots' Day when two explosions tragically rocked the annual Boston Marathon. Three people were reported dead and over 130 more injured. In wake of such devastating tragedy, several celebrities stepped forward to offer their support and condolences on Twitter and Facebook - including "Young Adult" comedian Patton Oswalt. The 44-year-old actor's inspiring and heartfelt words soon went viral on the web - encouraging those to believe that even through such tragedy, the good will of humanity always prevails.

Here is Oswalt's inspiring Facebook message posted the night of April 15:

Boston. F#cking horrible.

I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."

But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.

But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.

But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.

So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."

The post has already recieved over 252,200 'likes' and 188,900 shares. Do Mstars fans agree with Oswalt's words?

Thoughts and condolences go out to the victims and those touched by this horrific tragedy.
