I heard about the shootings at Virginia Tech last night on the News. It still hasn't completely sunk in yet, even for me. I may not know anyone who goes there, but that doesn't mean I can't grieve for the lives lost. I don't know what could bring someone to go on a killing rampage, and perhaps it's better that way. What the person did was horrific. But I think the first part of the healing process has to be forgiving the person, however hard it may seem, who killed all those innocent people. Otherwise the pain and anger will not go away, but will stay.
I also think that when there is a mass shooting, we shouldn't keep broadcasting it days later. I believe one of the reasons people do something like this is to have their little time of "fame". The News almost glorifies the act of going to a school and shooting the people who go there. I know this might sound a little harsh, but I think if we stopped broadcasting so much about the acts, maybe it might change something (for the better, I hope). I don't know...
This is one of the reasons why I can't stand humans. All this violence, I don't understand it. And I don't want to. I don't think anyone has the right to take someone else's life away from them. I'm not one of those HUGE peace activists. I can understand war, not that I like it, but that I understand why certain people go to war. What I can't understand is the senseless killing of people who have done nothing. Who are innocent. That's why I hate humanity. I have NO faith in humanity.
