Watch as I now take that advice and throw it out the window . . .
There are those among us who can not deal with the fact that they are a living human being! That alone is a burden apparently too difficult for them to bear. They can't handle how merely being alive comes with certain expectations on how we all are supposed to act and behave.
This is not a case of schizophrenia. This is not bi-polarism or manic depression. If that were the case, then I would pause (if only for a moment) before I judge.
But it's not. This is rage. Uncontrollable rage. This is someone who doesn't have the guts to say, "I have a problem." So instead, he insists that the whole world come to a stop and listen to his list of gripes. Unfortunately, he used a gun to get our attention.
We've all got problems, buddy! But we've had to learn how deal with them in a way that does not incite chaos - it's called being a productive member of society!
If you're so determined to remove yourself from this world, then even God Himself grants you that right! But don't think for one minute that you have the right to pull others into the misery that you allowed to fester in your own heart!
I can't even begin imagine what those families are going through right now. All I can do is pray for them.
(Sorry. I just had to get that out.)

The sad thing is that when I checked the calendar this morning and realized that the 19th was coming up I stopped and thought to myself "I wonder what will happen this week!" I have no idea if this was symbolic of this week but it is so disheartening that we come to expect these horrible acts to take place.
My heart if heavy tonight because of this event.

Hey Charlie,
Good to have you.
You're right, it's becoming more common. I guess what I worry about is whether it means sort of thing becomes more acceptable; or at least more accepted that this 'just happens'.

Hey Keri,
Yeah, I remember thinking not too long ago that things have been quiet in a relative sense.
It's all fun and games until you find yourself thinking, "Ya' know, we're due for something to happen pretty soon."
Thanks both for stopping by,

Hi Wade
I don't usually throw my 2 cents in to the conversational blog. However I tend to think that same way when it comes to Murder suicide in domestic cases. I look at my husband and shake my head and simply say divorce is always an option. Not that I condone divorce but it is always better than killing the other person. I hope the family members of Virgina Tech students and faculty can feel the prayers being lifted up on their behalf during this tragic time.

Well said wade, I couldn't agree more!
Hey Nicole,
Great to hear from you.
Yeah, rage does scarey things to you - makes you think in distorted ways you never thought possible.
