A Surreal World: Massacre At Virginia Tech

Days ago, I'm still mourn about my baby lost. Today, people start to mourn about at least confirmed 33 lives including gunman himself gone.

I was totally shocked. How can that happen? I do not understand how can that world turns out to be a surreal reality. No matter how much condolences shared with their family and friends, the lives was lost forever.

I was frighted when I heard the news that the gunman seems to try to take down as much lives as possible when shooting happened. After I lost my expecting baby, I can really understand how sorrowful it can be. The world turned out to be no color, no sound, nothing to feel and nothing left. I felt totally blank even I just start to expecting for 2 months. I can not image how those families can think after they lost their proud kids. I felt more than angry to that gunman. He may have rights to take away his life, how can he do that grim thing to all others easily?

It's not just one person's fault. Even before the authorities get their conclusion, I can say that. I can not blame everything to that deadly gunman.

The tragic event sounds like a movie. You will never expect it happen in real life, no matter it closes to yours or somebody else life.

The modern society is losing its moral foundation. Is the world becoming such a evil place to live? I don't believe that I ever heard that much sick things happened before. It seems like the crime is getting worse. Why?

Look at people who make a lot of money from weapon transactions, and ask why the rule to control weapons can never be passed? I hope that the unbelievable event can bring the gun restriction back to table. I also hope that those stakeholders can offer the real help instead of playing politics to those people who are and will be affected by the tragedy.

Look at the fact that so many innocent people died during the war, and ask why an invasion can be supported by the government who supposedly maintain the peace?

Everybody deserves his or her peaceful life, no matter he or she lived in Virginia or Iraq.

I'm still horrified by the tragedy. I just hope the massacre can be prevented in the future by peaceful mind, instead of more security.
