  • GOD BLESS


    I don't know anyone from Virginia Tech, nor did I know of the institution before yesterday. I am sure a lot of people around the world who are strangers to the people there are just as shocked as I am.  


    Students are supposed to be protected by their schools. They are supposed to be in a highly secured environment. They are supposed to feel safe all the time, like falling asleep on the grass within the campus. Most uni students have no experience with the real world and are vulnerable when they are placed in a potentially life-threatening position. Anyway, at least that was what I thought when I was at school.


    It is extremely easy to hate the killer, but much harder to forgive. We should look into the reasons behind his acts. People with mental illness are often not themselves. My anorexic cousin is verbally abusive to almost everyone in the family and we never blamed her because she is not being herself half the time. Moreover, the killer is dead himself and we cannot make him "more dead" than he already is right?


    R.I.P. And my utmost respect to the noble ones who sacrificed themselves to save others.

  • I totally agree it's very hard to forgive. People can't see why they ought to. Also agree with dolly gurly's words, sometimes an entire group will be stigmatised.
