No doubt, blaming it on society at large is in vain. Cho himself tried to do it, and what consequences did he come to? Cho argued in his manifesto, sent to the NBC in between the murders, that he was out to avenge rich "brats" with had their "Mercedes", "gold necklaces", "cognac" and "trust funds". But he had no argument, really - none of the above justifies the shootings.
But, as a lesson, we as individuals need to be constantly reminded of the social callousness we often displays toward the weak and underprivileged.
In the same time society advocates winning, it'd best advocate also tolerance and understanding towards losing. By all means win, but please maintain a healthy respect for those who fall behind.
It's called "live and let live". In this age of wealth and profligacy in many places, we instead may advocate "thrive but let survive".
Or we run the risk of seeing another Cho in another guise on the loose, lurking and ready to pounce.
