They're dead, now what???

It seems like every time I turn on the news or surf the net, I'm always hearing about a murder suicide or someone killing a person because that person no longer wanted to be with them. Someone found out their spouse was cheating and killed the husband and then turned the gun on himself. I guess the most recent instance is the murder-suicide of Steve McNair and his crazy jump-off. I have to wonder, is it really that serious? Was it that good? You never really know what makes another person tick, but wow I bet he never thought "this chick is crazy enough to kill me and her". I wouldn't think that. What makes a person so obsessed with another that they feel they have to harm them or worse kill them, so that no one else can have them? And doesn't killing yourself after the fact defeat the purpose? If he/she is dead, there is absolutely no chance they will come back to you and if you're dead, what was the point?

Don't get me wrong, I have loved someone before that didn't love me the same, but I never once thought of killing him and then killing myself. That is so crazy. I mean, I am no stranger to lost love or a broken heart but I don't understand how killing the person solves anything. In the end, they are gone, you are locked up (if the suicide attempt didn't work) and everyone around you suffered for your stupidity. Nothing or no one should make you compromise yourself or your common sense. The next time you want to run someone over because they pissed you off, think about this-"If they die, was my brief moment of rage really worth 15-20+?" I'm just saying, the price for stupidity is often high, can you really afford it? Why do you want someone that doesn't want you anyway, look for purpose and love elsewhere.
