VIRGINIA TECH MASSACRE
The Virginia Tech massacre had been such a huge event. An event which would leave behind fears in many of the students who had witnessed it. An event which led to the death of 32 other people. An event which has a lesson to be learnt.
Is it correct to entirely blame Cho Seung-Hui for this massacre?
Is this massacre entirely inevitable?
I have to admit that part of my heart goes out to Cho Seung-Hui. He left a message expressing his inner feelings of how he felt. "Did you want to inject as much misery in our lives as you can just because you can? "quoted from him. Nobody can stand being a loner, having no one to fend for him. It makes one feel helpless and dejected. This lonliness in him had slowly turned into anger. At least two of his teachers had noticed the change in his tone and behaviour of his works. If only they had put in a little more care and effort in understanding him, perhaps all these would not have happened.
Yet, I disagree on what he had done.
It is partly at fault with the students and teachers to have neglected Cho Seung-Hui's presence. But this massacre is definately not necessary. The lives of 32 other people was innocently taken away. "Each of these people had so much love, talent and gifts to offer, and their lives were cut short by a horrible and senseless act," as quoted from Cho Seung-Hui's sister.
I hope that this would be a lesson learnt. We should not take for granted someone's presence. Everybody needs some love and care.
