Is death truly better than living with destruction? pt2

I have been increasingly getting pissed off by the reference to this man's mental instability and the interpretation of his video tirade as "thinking he was a kind of Jesus". Cho Seung-Hui wasn't even Christian! Is that what the world has come to? Using religion and the personalities related to the same to describe insanity??? Does this also equate religion to insanity? God help us if it is! If we can't understand something are we using religion as the crutch to carry all the ills of the world? God Help us if we are! All in all, My heart goes out to the families of all the victims in the Va. Tech. incident; Cho's family as well. God grant them the peace they need to accept this tragedy and move forward into your love and peace that surpasses all human understanding. But in the absence of understanding let us not camouflage evil with sprinkles of all that is righteous and true

Is death truly better than living with destruction?

The world is shaken by the news of the massacre of 32 students at Virginia Tech. University in the US. The tortured soul of the South Korean boy that committed this massacre was released to the press and seemingly gave us a glimpse into the mind of the killer. It is somewhat surreal that Cho Seung-Hui found his life so unbearable that he preferred death to living with the destruction that surrounded him. The families of 32 victims will agree with me when I say... yes, sometimes life is hard, kill yourself though... leave others out of it. But I believe that to some people to see and experience death, is the only way that they can feel alive. Sick? Yeah I know. I am thinking how many times we have watched this on TV about kids in schools that have been treated badly or that were not popular and hated themselves and everybody else because of it. Music has been done about it; with Kelly Rowland doing 'Stole' and some Alternative Artists singing about tortured minds. So when does death become more welcome than picking up the lemons that have been tossed at you by life and making lemonade anyway, no matter how bitter? .
