A Senseless Rampage

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
--Khalil Gibran

Yesterday (Tuesday here in the Phils. & Monday in the US), a chilling tragedy happened at Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Va.

It was something that's not meant to be laughed upon nor is it worthy to be criticized.

33 lives were taken and i think 15 or more of that number are still standing between the lines of life and death.

What happened in that campus is simply not a joke. It has to be taken seriously and it also needs to be critically dwelled upon not just by the US but also the whole world.

There are so many factors that goes around this issue and it continues to pile up every second possible.

Anger. Guns. Violence. Security. Life. Death. and so much more...

What triggered this horrific tragedy?

What was really going on inside the mind of Cho Seung-Hui, the person responsible for this tragedy?

There are so many questions reverberating inside my head right now and the only thing that helped me lessen it a bit is to post this blog.

I'm not sure if this helps but it is true that the whole world is now in extreme shock because the intensity of that tragedy is really shocking and heart-breaking...

Do we still need to encounter more of these senseless rampages and outbursts in the future?

Isn't the school being treated as every child's second home? Which means that it has to be a safe sanctuary wherein children and the young alike would feel safe, free and secured all the time?

Geez... My condolences goes to the families, friends, acquaintances and peers of those lives that are perished and even to those who are still in the middle of fighting for their precious lives.

Death is imminent but not in a way like this.

Such a senseless rampage...
