<p> Revenge: The Greatest Motivator Why is it that every time a school shooting occurs that everyone who knows or knew the perpetrator identifies him/her as a troubled person who was reclusive and exhibited all manner of anti social behavior? Never fails. Here are some of the comments that have been made about Adam Lanza the perpetrator who entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut and opened fire on December 15, 2012 killing 26 people, 20 of them were children. "Adam Lanza has been a weird kid since we were five years old," said Tim Dalton, a neighbor and former classmate, on Twitter. "As horrible as this was, I can't say I am surprised." "This was a deeply disturbed kid," a family insider said. "He certainly had major issues. He was subject to outbursts from what I recall." A further family friend said he had acted as though he was immune to pain. "A few years ago when he was on the baseball team, everyone had to be careful that he didn't fall because he could get hurt and not feel it," said the friend. "Adam had a lot of mental problems." "It was almost painful to have a conversation with him, because he felt so uncomfortable," said Olivia DeVivo, who sat behind him in English. "I spent so much time in my English class wondering what he was thinking." "He didn't fit in with the other kids." "He was very, very shy. He wouldn't look you in the eyes when he talked. He didn't really want to lock eyes with you for very long." It's almost as if everybody knows, but nobody cares, or maybe they do care but really don't know what to do. They continue to walk amongst us being spoken about as weird by neighbors and family members who wish they could take a peak into their secret life and discover what conclusions they have drawn about life. Who or what are they angry at, and what measures will they take to get even with the world maybe for just being born. Revenge: the greatest motivator known to mankind. It's been around since Cain and Abel affecting those who have been victimized by life, either physically, emotionally, or mentally. The problem is the victims get even with the wrong people.According to the United States Secret Service since 1999 thirty seven of the school shootings that have occurred have been carried out by those who were victims of bullying. Bullies are motivated and driven by power, victims are motivated by revenge. Victims are compilers. They compile information about people who have victimized them and about their inabilities to speak or act with confidence. They do this until their cup just plain runs over. The pain has to go somewhere which is why after the victim exacts his revenge he/she will usually take their own life. "There's something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear. There's a man with a gun over there. Telling me I've got to beware." For What It's Worth Buffalo Springfield </p>
