i was about to write
I was about to start writing something, when my bunny actually bumped his nose at the door, pushing it open, wanting to come in. It's the cutest thing ever.
Right. Distraction aside (which, technically, should not be at the beginning of a text) - I have missed writing up my thoughts here. My one (er, public) sanctuary.
Here's a curious thing about me. I think I am very much interested in the matters of humanity. Human behaviour interests me. Not so much that I'd major in psychology (except that oops, already did and oops, failed majorly) in an attempt to understand. But, I'm interested enough that I'll start closing in on myself and start observing people - and many times, most people find this little thing I do a bit unnerving. (Well of course, who in their right mind likes being stared at? I, myself, hate it. That's why I try to do it discreetly.)
Why this sudden talk of human behaviour, you ask? Hmm, probably because I just spent half a day browsing on the Columbine High School Massacre in 1999. And this isn't the first time, either. I have pored over every bit of information I could find on this subject, and right now, I think I can tell you most of the victims' names and other details. Find me creepy yet? It's not out of sheer curiosity alone. With all due respect to the victims, their families, the survivors... I do not mean to belittle what has happened. It's a tragic thing. I keep trying to understand WHY the shooters - Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold - did that. Yes, we did find out that Eric was suffering from a mental disorder (I forgot which one exactly), but that's not all. You can't just be satisfied with a conclusion such as: "Oh, he's crazy, so he must be forgiven for his actions." NO.
More than anything, I can't be thankful enough that I've grown up in a loving and supporting environment. All my life, I've been able to meet and interact with the kindest people. Okay, so some of them are mean, but they're there for a reason. Which is why, when things like these (Columbine, Virginia Tech, Norway) happen, I tend to get all 'detective-like' about it. Not about how it happened. About the psychology behind it.
I like trying to figure out why people do the things they do, because I will never get a right or wrong answer.
