I think I have identified part of why it is so difficult for me to watch or read a news story about the tragedy last week in Colorado. Every time I see an image of the guy who did that, I become furious. I want to just reach through the TV and hit the guy.
What that guy did was horrible, ridiculous, and just plain stupid. It makes no sense. And because of that, I can't even begin to look at news stories. It's just ridiculous.
Ultimately, it's not right to have that kind of anger and malice towards someone. But I think it takes some time to deal with those emotions, to, in a sense, get over it. That's part of the process of dealing with things like this . . . things that are so illogical, so ridiculous that there really is no real "normal" way of dealing with it.
