Hey everyone! How's it going? This entry will be about the events of this week. Tomorrow's my birthday and although I'm happy about that...turning the big 2-0, there is lots of sadness around. My birthday also sticks out in the minds of many as the anniversary of Columbine. Can you believe 8 years have passed already? I turned 12 when it happened!
And now, 8 years later, the horror at Virginia Tech happens. Instead of a high school, it's now a university. And rather than it being local residents, it's someone who's originally from the other part of the world. Why do these things happen? I think that we're not aware of the others around us. Some people admitted that they thought the guy was disturbed, but did they actually help him?
I hope others remind themselves that everything they do makes a difference. If you bully that kid or pick on that nerd and what have you, there are consequences. Sure, they should be strong enough to not make irreversible mistakes, but you should be smart enough to give positive and respectful "emanations".
It seems that Cho Seung-Hui was bullied at school before. It isn't easy when you're a bit different than others. And, once again, the bullied end up hurting others because they were hurt themselves. It also seems that the Columbine students had been bullied. Rejection has many consequences.
And it was 12 years ago (April 19th, 1995) that the Oklahoma City Bombing occurred. All of these things come in this horrible week. And why did he do it? Apparently because of the injustices of the US government (particularly Waco and Ruby Ridge incidents). But why do they have to kill others?
I'd like to hear your opinion. Thanks and try to have a good day!
"Dr." John
