Virginia Tech Bloodshed - A view inside the "SICK MIND"

What goes in the making of a mad killer?Many things I believe.One that stands out in my mind,is repressed rage.Last but not the least,easy access to guns - just as you would not want terror merchants to be sitting on a nuke, similarly you do not want a sick and angry mind, to gain access to a gun. In some ways, killing others and taking your own life, are the same thing - both are destructive acts arising out of a common inner cause - anxiety and repressed rage. There comes a time in every one of our lives, when we feel we have been taken over the hill and need to do something about it. When a sick mind reaches such a conclusion, what can follow is the VT massacre. It could still have been prevented, if the killer had to go about looking for an illegal arm.
However, it could have also been prevented at a much more fundamental level - if we could prevent someone's brain to get THIS sick.I am not empathising with the killer nor endorsing his act,as a way of "getting over the hill".Even if one is beyond his/her threshold, killing anyone is not an acceptable way out.However, it needs investigation into the killer's life and look for possible causes of this supressed anger.For people who are not assertive, a small insult, an unfortunate event or a deliberate misdeed, gets accrued upon. These people I believe need more understanding and support.In order to grow as individuals, we have to first understand and recognise our rights and then realise the world around us. Not everyone can do that to the desired extent very easily.That is controlled by environment,upbringing and a myriad of different factors. Life needs to be paced differently for these people. Eventually, when they grow as mature individuals, most of their frustrations get evened out- things make a hell lot more sense.One can recognise one's rights, defend them when needed and MOVE ON! Also one learns to accept the world better.Also we should teach ourselves, to acknowledge destiny as having a defining role in our lives.We all hope to get the best in our lives.Even if we dont get ALL of it,it is worth defining sucess and happiness within what we have got.
So on a concluding note , we should look out for people who need more help with their lives - in terms of understanding themselves and others.An honest effort should be made to reach out to them and monitor their psychological graduation.
