Mass shooting reported in Wisconsin: 7 hospitalized, suspect
remains at large.
Is it an exercise of
intelligence to quickly find a scape goat and place blame? I think not.
Why do so few ever seem to
wonder and ask what could be the motivating force behind such actions?
Even with that consideration
in mind, how deeply will anyone look to try to understand what could possibly
create such hostility in any individual that they would explode in anger,
resentment, and violence?
Do you think someone who has
a family and community that encourages them to live up to their best potential and
assists them in learning what they need to know in order to be a useful respected
individual who is valued and appreciated for what they have to offer to other
in the community would be inclined to hostility and violence?
How many organizations,
families, politicians, government agencies, or individuals can you name,
including the educational system of America that actually encourage and reward
independent thinking and cooperation when it comes to building self-confidence
and increasing one’s ability to communicate with ones fellow students,
instructors, family and friends? And do
not charge a fee that puts such support beyond the means of those who need it
most, which in this case if almost every human being on this planet.
Please do not get me wrong, such
violence is not acceptable or justifiable!
But there are those who will
say that when such violence is done by a nation that it is acceptable!
Such reasoning is flawed.
Special circumstances do not
make what may be considered an evil, a crime, or something harmful,
Turn into something good,
just, honorable, helpful, or healing!
It is human beings that have the ability to be responsible and
communicative in this life.
Animals would if they could teach us a greater way to love. Sadly it
seems far too many people lack the ability to recognize this. Instead our
history shows the practice of killing animals and those who greatly love honor
and respect them.
Human beings often view the violence in nature that occurs as a natural
survival requirement and condemn it in some way, even if it is only by virtue
of thinking themselves better and more civilized. I think they fail at such
times to remember their own participation in some form of hostility towards
another, even to the point of going to war. Yes these are broad generalizations
and they are true.
Our human experience will not change unless and until we, that is you and
I, do.
More and more there are said to be laws being created that are designed
to prevent people from expressing what they know to be true.
Reasons are given that say it is not fair to speak the truth when that
truth may reveal that one expensive product is inferior to a less expensive product
and may even be harmful! The justification for such laws I am told is said to
be to promote a more level playing field of “Free Trade.”
People will not purchase a product as quickly when it is clear that it is
an inferior and more expensive product.
Thus one may have a clear example of why “secrets” are valued and
protected in this competitive market society.
But I have strayed far from the point now have I not?
