sympathy/terror

A story about an anorexic young lady was on tv.
When she was screaming, the words were disoriented.
But I can understand her meaning.
With shivers down my spine, there was a very close proximity.

When I tried to remove myself from that mental proximity.
I can see how horrifying she appear to be to her loved ones.
No doubt, she would be classified as "in urgent need of profesional help".

Like that murder suicide in Virginia Tech, USA, we can't deny that we see a little piece of us in the deranged anger. That's why we're sympathetic and terrified to see what the consequences are.
