Yeah, I have my own thoughts and feelings on the shooting, and I want to share them now. If you've heard enough on the subject, don't read, but I need to say this
( Read more... )
But why, why is it that I feel so sad? Why do I feel hurt? I didn't lose anyone.
It was exactly the same for me. I have very few friends who go to Tech, and none of them were hurt, though one was having a difficult year anyway and this only hurt her worse, and another had his German teacher killed. I didn't find either of these things out until later; all I knew at first was that they were okay, and I was so relieved. But for three days after, I kept crying--not a lot, just a few tears before I was okay again--and I couldn't figure out why. I didn't know anyone hurt or dead or dying.
I think that it makes such an emotional impact has nothing to do with whether or not you knew the victims. It's the fact that there were victims, where there shouldn't have been. And I know that I couldn't help but empathize with people who were affected. That must have hurt like hell.
So I think it's only natural you would feel upset. Actually, I'd be surprised if you didn't.
