I am tempted to indulge in my own brand of psycho- babble in
commenting on 14 year old Andrew Wurst who may have planned a cold
blooded murder a month earlier: " I'm going to go to the dinner dance
and kill some people," he warned classmates, One of them nicknamed
him " Satan". Wurst " hated his life. He hated the world. He hated
school ". Now a science teacher, John Gillette, has been shot dead
and others wounded by a crazy kid tormented in some inner hell.
To turn against life itself in the very springtime of life !
Just a speculation- perhaps futile- but how many of these " crazy "
kids were surrounded by emotionally healthy, " biophilous " adults ?
Picture a vulnerable kid who never gets a clue from any of the adults
in his life about WHAT IT"S ALL ABOUT. He is surrounded by so called
adults who deep down are still very infantile themselves, who have
never undergone their own Copernican Revolution- learning that their
EGO is not the center of the universe.
Perhaps from day one the kid perceives himself as a mere nuisance at
best in envied adult world. How many kids are born into the world-even
the affluent world- not really wanted at all?
I can't think of anything else -in a kid born mentally healthy- that
can poison his very soul, creating a future moral monster.
These kids -unless we are prepared to believe in Satanic influence -
got a very malignant message from the ADULT WORLD very early in life.
In the absence of caring adults, they got that message from TV. Love
that Marilyn Manson !
My own psycho- babble but I tried .
