On Monday as I am sure you all know a major tragedy struck Virginia Tech University and a lot of innocent people were hurt and killed due to the carelessness of one person. This brought a lot of questions to my mind about, why people feel the need to hurt others because of their own troubled past or twisted minds. I mean what gives someone the right to take out their personal frustrations and anger on people that had nothing to do with them. To me I will never be able to understand someones reactions in this manner. From what we have all heard it sounds like this kid was troubled or angered about life for quite sometime, so why is it that everyone continued to let this person live this way. Then again I ask myself if I would have stepped up to reach out to this person if he had continued to give me the cold shoulder. Is this a normal reaction for all of us to ignore people that seem troubled even though they do everything they can to make it known that they have questionable issues? I pray and wish the best for the families that have been tortured by this persons actions!
What are your opinions on this, do you think that this situation could have been prevented? Do you think your campus is prepared for something of this nature?
