A Brief on the Recent School Killing in Finland

I am deeply distrubed by the news about the recent event of a killing in a Finnish school. Things would not get any better, that's the message that i perceive from it. As if needed i reminder. Yes, I'm a pesimistic, but just on the surface...

For what it's worth. I could only send my thoughts to my friends who are obviously affected, as it is well known that 'these kind of things don't happen in Finland'. That's what we talked about over last Novermber's first killing. You see, people there don't kill each other in such an American way. Yet, it appears to me that some individuals intend to change that internal structure within the Finnish way of life.

The way i see it is based on my loss of hope and faith in Mexico and the Mexicans. As I have mentioned in this blog, things go only from bad to worse in Mexico. I, in my most natural and instinctive way of being, try to cling on the idea that there are places where people can still feel safe and be, in spite of financial turmoils. Observing the event of today from afar, I can only feel that despair expands through me, and that individual acts, while they are only that 'individual', can have a massive effect on the people that may share my point of view. Perhaps, I am quite wrong, and I may be only expressing my gutt feeling. I definitely don't intend to insult any one's intellect.

I could not begin to grasp the feelings of my Finnish friends. Earlier today, I spoke with one of them, and she told me that it was too early for her to know how she was feeling about it.
