What made Robert Hawkins do it? Who is responsible? Is there an epidemic going on?
I think we have a whole society of people running around looking for something to make them happy. When happiness comes from within. And I don't have much faith in psychiatry or therapist, even though I have a psychologist in the family. Thats not saying that he didn't have any mental illnesses,. But I have seen first hand what the medical profession wants to do with everyone who has an issue or a problem. I lost my husband and 9 year old daughter in a car crash in 1999. My 15 year old son was the only survivor. When they told me at the hospital they were all there ready with some medication, which I refused. I needed to be alert for my sons needs at that moment,. all drugs do is delay having to go through the grief and pain. The point is, that is life. Its full of dissapointments, heartaches,. and pain. BUT its also full of joy and love and happiness. I made a concious choice to feel blessed that I had, had them at all in my life, rather than dwell on their ping. I had the tools within me to get through it. This poor boy was in pain. We teach kids everything else, but how to deal with life. This boy needed the tools to help himself get through things. he needed something he wasn't getting. I think I read that he felt he had been a dissapointment that nothing was going to change. With all the therapist and treatment he got., let alone what drugs they had him on, This was the end result? No one could help him? Who dropped the ball here? If drugs were the answer, we would have a whole nation of really happy people since many seem to be on a antidepressant now. I don't beleive drugs are the answer. I am not religious, but I am spiritual in beleiving in a higher power, and having faith. This boy took a permanent solution to a temporay problem. His life he felt was a mess and he didn't see it getting any better. He somehow couldn't see that everything pes and things change. Saying this I do know also that there are some individuals who cannot be helped.. I cannot say for sure if he was one of them,. but I don't think this was the answer either. Do I think TV and video games play a role? Probably a part of what he saw and what he knew about directed him towards the path he took,. There is much to be looked at in this case. We will probably never know the full reasons why he did what he did,. But lets pray to god that something has been learned here before we have another m murder. And lets try and help the next Robert hawkins before its too late.
