What is wrong with people?

Yesterday was the worst shooting massacre in American history. A man went through a Virginia Tech dormitory and academic building and murdered 32 people and injured more than 50, and then killed himself. It begs me to ask the question – "What is wrong with people?" What could this person have possibly have been thinking, what happened to in this persons own life that ultimately ended the lives of 32 others and affected the lives of hundreds of others?

There are several incidents in American history, in my lifetime, that beg the question "why?", the ones you will always remember where you were when you heard the news. The columbine high school shooting, 9-11, even the Oklahoma City bombing. It is these events that I can relate to, everyday lifestyles similar to mine, interrupted. Its not always terrorists, which we have become so afraid of, it could just be one troubled or mentally unstable person whose troubles ultimately become troubles for so many other people.


I do not have answers, only the question that never seems to go away - "Why?"


I am truly sorry for those who have lost loved ones or had to witness this tragedy. I can only imagine the grief that you are feeling.
