It seems the more advanced our society becomes, the more primal behavior we exhibit... I have never understood the ways of our world. Where selfishness, greed,and violence, the infliction of pain and brutality on the helpless is complacently accepted. When did "homeless" become acceptable? When did a divided family prove to be the best thing for all involved?
Give the kid a 300.00 xbox and all will be well. He can learn all he needs in life. Ever wonder how your mother is surviving her retirement on $700.00 a month graciously given by the government for all her hard work?
While we find our own little way to shut it all out,telling ourselves that it is someone elses problem,laughing at the pain displayed on our airwaves, the plague continues to grow worse.
Where does a 12 year old child learn that to stop a baby from crying, you beat it with a baseball bat? Who protects the abused? When do we put down the cell phone, or the game controller and see the world as it truly is?
We have forgotten the gifts we have been given. The gift of reason, of patience, of kindness. The responsibility to raise a better "Next Generation" Think about it... When our rights are violated we fight. We used to fight together. But we turn a blind eye to the 2 yr. old who gets brutally beaten in the convenience for no other reason than not shutting up?
Wake up people, We consider ourselves the top of the food chain... ARE WE REALLY??? I don't think so. We are the largest and most vicious parasite on the planet. Something will have to stop us. I don't think we are capable of stopping ourselves.
When you go to sleep tonight,say a prayer for those who are hungry and in pain. Take action when you can. Stand up for someone who can't do it for themselves. Fight the cancer that destroys the body of us all. If you take that step out of your comfort zone, At least you can say you tried.
