I suppose some people are too numb to care, or maybe it doesn't hit close to home because they aren't in any way affiliated with your school. When Columbine happened it was a pretty freakin' big deal at the time because that never happened before. But of course when it happened some people just weren't moved as much as others.
There are random moments in the day when I feel guilty for already having forgotten the names of the victims. It hits me like a cold wind, and I remember that I am still breathing, I am still standing, I am still living my selfish life of uncertainty and doubt while somewhere, someone's mother is crying, someone's father is numb, someone's best friend is being buried. When I heard about what had happened Monday, I wanted to drive to VT, and walk around, saying nothing and giving hugs. I still believe that there are no words that can express the sadness of the lives lost that day, of the pieces of faith in humanity that were taken away. I think it's unfair that people have to learn not to trust others, to be wary of people and the possible actions and decisions they can make
