So I spent a goodly portion of the day discussing the Virginia Tech shooting. That kind of newsblogish talk really isn't my thing. Yet I did so. I'm still a little diturbed at how unnaffected I am by it. I knew something had happened last monday. Everyone was expressing pangs of sympathy and sorrow. It wasn't untill last weekend that I picked up a paper and finnaly read what had happened.
I wasn't saddened by the deaths when I read the article. That's the wierd part for me. I was more incenced that no one could discribe Chu as a man. He was a demon, deranged, unthinking, pure evil. He was alot of things, but he was a person. He was disturbed and estranged from the world. He was still a person tho. I hate that I feel durty to say that. It's like the dead scream at me when I even think like that. I can't listen to them tho.
So I went off on a tangent in my mind. This isn't abnormal anymore. It seems a natural progression of some problem. Something that's straining to break in todays world. So I started to think on what that might be. I started on a disconnected feeling I have. I don't feel alot of the people around me. It's as if no one reaches out. It feels like people are growning apart. By people, I mean me and those I care for. To generalize. There are more and more people in the world, and less and less community.
that hurts so very much to think about.
