Big Ez Ed: Perspective Thoughts.

Perspective Thoughts.

I have been searching the names and stories of those so needlessly murdered at Va. Tech. It is a moving and saddening search. I have a sister who use to work at Va Tech, and even though we haven't spoken for 10+ years I worried for her.

If you have anybody in your family in college, or heading to college this incident is even more frightening. Where is our world going to ?

Live well, as today is the most important day of your life.

Stories, Legends, and Myths

When something happens within the family, or better yet at a family gathering it becomes a family "Story". It will be told over and over and over again. The "Story" will remain exactly as it happened when it is told among that generation.

As we tell that "Story" over and over and over and over again for more than ten years it becomes a family "Legend". It becomes a "Legend" as it has now been passed on to a new generation of the family to live and enjoy. The "Legends" sometimes get embellished to make them more appealing. The new generation will put their own angle on telling the Legend, but they will keep the "Legend" alive.

Upon the unfortunate demise of any family member involved with the incident or after 20 years, I believe the story then becomes "Mythical". This "Mythical" event will have more embellishments added in to it as most of the people who have heard about this event know it only second hand, and weren't there when it was just a "Story".
