another school shooting today… I read in the news…
more politicians offer up prayers and thoughts…
politicians say, more and more guns will make us safer…
politicians bought to say, more and more guns will make us safer…
and other bought politicians will say, a few bad apples is the cause of gun violence……
over 11,000 deaths from guns last year… that is more then a few bad apples…
with that number, you can no longer say, a few bad apples causes gun violence…
with that number, you can only say, this is the manifestation of our soul sickness…
when guns, violence is the answer to our difficult questions…
and those who promote gun as a solution are promoting violence as an answer……
and that is soul sickness…….
to see guns, violence as an answer to any question is to be soul sick……
violence destabilizes society, violence encourages more violence…
violence causes sadness, fear and hatred… traits that define soul sickness…
want proof? see America after 9/11………
healthy minded people don’t resort to violence……
healthy minded people look for peaceful answers…
those infected with soul sickness, look to guns and violence as answers……
the soul sickness of a single human being is the soul sickness of America……
for what ails a single person, can ail an entire society or nation…….
and how do we heal?
by first becoming aware………
and not just individually, but become aware societally, nationally…
until we do that, until we understand that…
I will continue to read the news…of a few bad apples…
and other lies I read today……
