The Virginia Tech Massacre..

Funny how something happening so far away can actually trigger so much feelings..

All because one guy has pent-up anger,
was probably abused (physically, sexually, verbally) when he was younger
decided to purchase guns and gun down 32 students and teachers in Virginia Tech,
many people had to suffer pain and sorrow..

I was reading through the many articles on how that guy could actually have been prevented from committing this hedious crime of homicide,
of how the crime took placed,
of how friends and family of the victims feel about them
and have seen many pictures of how America and South Korea mourn for the lost of these people.

Out of the 32 people killed, many were bright students with promising futures..
each important to their friends and family in many ways..
all had their lives "cut short" just because of one mad schoolmate.

I got this quote from one of the victims' parents..
"Choose to focus on life and the love and the light that our children brought into the world and not on the darkness and the madness and the death."

Maybe we really should start thinking of what God has done for us.. and not only focus on all the disasters, calamities and killings that have been happening..
