Frankly, I don't get it!
What on earth is troubling the minds and lives of the people who resort to thinking that there is no way out in what is referred to as 'dog eat dog' world?
The fact is, it is not the world that is becoming cruel but cruely is pepertrated as some form of mass entertainment with no sign of an end. To me it is a game gone too far and the result- oppression, individualism and greed.
War over a piece of land or some oil or other 'precious' resources... so many trespassing violations! At some point or another we are all breaking someone's boundary.
Lately police sirens are blaring day and night in my neighborhood and I wonder if that is just a scarecrow strategy.
And the media- they seem to be caught in this fear breeding concern. Who needs to rent movies when you can turn on the TV?
All the great works have somehow fallen through the cracks... what a picture to paint and imprint on the minds of a populace.
While my guess is as good as any, I feel that the underlying cause is not that we are bad people but we are a people searching for truth, peace, justice and dignity and this unfortunately is not found in war, bloodshed, power play or blindly complying with conformity.
I could best explain an alternative with the following poem that I composed to help me do my part in understanding and in resolving the conflict that goes on in one's self and reflected and demonstrated by the actions of war, shooting and crimes.
Understanding and resolving the conflict that goes on in one's self and reflected and demonstrated by the actions of war, shooting and crimes requires quieting of the mind and the master behind the mindgames.
Life always balances itself even in ways that seem unbearable to the human mind and the treasures that coerces the mind lends little help when what really mattes is traded for things that cannot restore peace
