many sorrows

not to jump on any bandwagon but...

my sincerest sympahthies to those folks in blacksburg and elsewhere who were directly touched by the tragedy that befell that campus.
slainte'

on the other side, cho seung-hui needs our compassion too. his was a tortured soul for reasons as yet unknown or even unknowable. he was an angry young man without an acceptable outlet. his rage came from somewhere, and found ... what?
he struck out in the most basic fashion, rage like that knows no boundaries. it is the fight in our "fight or flight". he was in "flight' for who knows how long, and finally made the switch and began to fight.
fear is the most basic of all human emotions. it is the first thing we feel as we are born. only to be dispelled by our mothers touch and comforting.
if we cannot find that "comfort zone", we continue to fret and live in a constant state of fear and 'flight' and when the psyche has had enough?
when we have been tormented too long?
we fight back.
so much of our popular culture is predicated on this. just look at most of lions gate films, SAW, HOSTEL, VACANCY. the idea behind "the punisher", hell his name even. so much of our culture is based on revenge: the wars in afganistan and iraq, chechnya and darfur, rwanda and cambodia, palestine and belfast.

the real question is,

when will we grow out of this adolescent rage? and finally stop the madness.
