When life becomes meaningless

Just recently, my junior committed something atrocious. Tried to murder his professor and committed suicide. 

Although I'm not that close to him, but this kind of events leave you thinking.. What the hell happened to him?

What would cause a bright student with good future to waste his life just like that. Is life so meaningless for us to throw it away just like that?? Is the furthest we can get is to be the headline of a newspaper? It seems like he just suddenly lost his willingness to live. Which makes us think... What drives us to live? What motivates us to be persistent and do our best. Everyone has a reason to live. It's the thing called HOPE. Without it people fall into despair, and everything seems meaningless. People have different objective in life, and in achieving it, it's never easy. The thing to remember is to always keep the fire burning and not to lose hope. 

The question people ask is who to blame for this?

Is it the proffessor who didnt do his job properly? Who disregard the emotional well being of his student.

Or the parents who didnt prepare and raise his emotional level well enough to withstand the test of life. 

Or is it his own fault for not being strong enough.

Noone can answer. Even if we know who to blame, what's the point?

A life has been lost, a dream has been shattered.
