In the wake of the Virginia Tech shooting, media is appropriately spending a lot of time talking about the victims of the shootings.

However, I wonder what we are so scared about to feel sympathy for Seung-Hui Cho, who because of his illness and perhaps other factors, reacted violently in this manner.

I would like to hear a little bit about his family, his friends (if any) and possibly remind ourselves of that Seung-Hui Cho was a human being who was a family's son, a friend, and a student...

The event is horrific and devastating, and I feel sad about all who have been affected by this tragedy, including Seung-Hui Cho.

This was a terrible tradgedy and everyone affected by this is in my prayers. We also need to remember Seung Hui was a human being whose behavior, which , looking back on at the past few years, was obvious that he needed serious help and no one stepped up to be a hero for him. Could this have been avoided if we took more time to care about others needs and feelings no matter how 'strange' or 'different' they may be? If someone had reached out to him and got him the proper help he needed might this terrible tradgedy been avoided? I think so. 33 people lost there lives because of our unwillingness to act because it is easier to just take those we see as not significant people as jokes or harmless weirdos. My prayers for all the families who lost someone.

Isaah's Cave

"Did you hear that?"
" What? Hear what? "
" Must be the humans. Strange bunch."
" But I can hear one of them, like he's sitting in this room. Right now, with us."
" Hmm, I see. "
He looked around.
" Isn't that a little problematic? I mean , and keep a job?"
But he was gone.
"What he say his name was..?"
Cho Seung- Hui?
" Must be tough living in a society where no one can say your name."

"Now , where were we?"
"You know, I'm not sure."
