Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Dear Michael, Thank you for sharing about the Virginia Tech Professor Liviu Librescu. Virginia Tech is my Alma Mater and I spent four years their completing my Ph.D. The events there have shocked us all. We are all so very proud of Professor Liviu Librescu and how he lived his life and and how he died doing his best to save his students. His example shines brightly for us. Another very good and decent man much loved by his students, Professor G.V. Loganathan also was a victim on that day and fell along with his students. My father used to say that teaching is a noble profession. We pray for healing and peace for the Virgina Tech community and the community at large. May all being be free from sorrow. Love to all Harsha -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I feel for the families of those killed and of the killer. I couldn't help notice though that while cnn were talking about the 'massacre' the text on the bottom of the screen was reporting 150 civilians killed in Irak. This again points out our Egos and Western opinion that some lives are more important than others. The thousands of children that die of starvation every night are not mentioned either. Then there is Darfur and the holocaust there. I could go on forever. There always seem something tragically selfish about it all, specific mourning of some kind...........Tony.

And it seems the world is caught up in mass suffering of one form or another. Compassion and loving-kindness is much needed. It is so evidently ironic that Prof. Librescu, a survivor of Nazi brutality, came to the USA and gave his life in an act of heroic love. Seems to me even his last name speaks of liberty. The truth is we are appalled, dismayed, disheartened, fearful and shocked; we are filled with tenderness for the victims, the survivors and their families and friends. The sad truth is it becomes tomorrow's news after a few days and we go about our daily business, maintaining the status quo. Not too much is ever done about anything until it hits 'home'. Then we ask " how could this happen (again?) Metta, Anna p.s. I already addressed one issue in a letter to some groups: the availability of weapons.
