ok .. Have just watched our news here... and hope that no-one on this site is affected by the horrific shootings there.. thoughts to all ...
I agree with you Sun 100%. But I think we all need to be grateful of what we have got and help others better themselves. We are too materlistic and you will find countries such as Vanuatu are the happiest people on the planet but they have little of the luxeries that we westerners have, but they are happy as they are grateful of the posetions thay do have. We all could learn from them. But education is the key and I pray for those families that were affected by this latest incident.
Very wise words Miss Foxy.
Pearl writes (I\'m sure unintentionally) as if the world is the USA but whilst most other nations do not permit guns as in the USA, violence unleashes itself in many other forms in the rest of the world. It has done so for many millenia, no matter whether it was neolithic man in UK seeking tribal revenge or the modern drunk or druggie in many countries who loses control of his faculties. Even in the most civilised and harmonious democracies there will always be \'the rogue\' element. We can all only ever help to keep educating folk in commonsense and decency towards others and try to help others keep balanced in their outlook without ourselves being bigotted.
What a mentally challenging subject! I don\'t want to sound cynical but if there was a magic cure, someone would have patented it and made loadsa money. There\'s no golden bullet solution and so that takes us back to Miss Foxy\'s clever saying, \"You can\'t appreciate the good without the bad\".
You know the saying \"you can\'t appreciate the good without the bad?\" The same concept lies here. I wish we could all live in peace and love but this doesn\'t seem plausible. The only way we could live in complete peace and harmony is to biologically alter ourselves to destroy all negative emotions. Even if we ended all wars and supplied everyone with everything they needed there will always be atleast one person who finds dissatisfaction in the situation, a desire for more, and will create conflict.
Now we have the shootings in Orlando today. This world is in real trouble. I will blog more later.
I think we all need to look inside ourselves and ask one question.
How can I make a difference?
