18 children and two adults were murdered in Texas. Everyone on the television, all the pundits are lost in a circle of their own words trying to explain the presence of evil in our culture. I’m sick of it. Everyone’s looking for an easy answer. It’s the guns- no it’s mental health -no it’s neglect -no it’s the fault of the evil people who are creating the act! There are no easy answers but there’s lots of responsibility that’s not being taken seriously. We live in a world right now is filled with righteous indignation rage and anger. Our political pundents are constantly at each other’s necks accusing them of terrible things and calling them names because they don’t like what they said. We stopped allowing for freedom of speech a long time ago, and it’s only gotten worse. People are angry everywhere you look, furious and filled with rage. The 18-year-old who committed this act didn’t stand a chance. He was doing what the culture taught him. If someone doesn’t agree with you it makes you angry and you can hurt him for what he is saying and doing. They see it every day on television the world has become a place that is not safe and we have all lost our sense of trust and love for our neighbors . We sell automatic weapons to 18 year old children who can’t decide what they want for dinner much less what to do with there rage.
Oh yes, we can put more police in the schools. We can put bullet proof glass around the entrance and exits. Students must show their IDs before they can enter a school? What is that going to teach our children except that there’s so much violence in the world that we have to isolate them to protect them from that violence. We are stealing the developmental necessity of socializing and developing their limits and boundaries.
And it gets worse. Random stabbings in the streets. Beatings out in the open on the streets.Violence everywhere. Political rage from the extreme liberals and extreme conservatives. Crazy people in charge of our country! Everyone is suffering from terrible anxiety.
And I still believe we can save ourselves and our wonderful country, it won’t be easy but it will be worth it!
Stop looking for easy solutions. There are none. And it will take time to fix the mess we have become. Start by voting for candidates who will help us let go of the extreme ends of both parties. vote for the liberal republicans and conservative liberals…that vote will bring us back to the middle and bipartisan Senate and House! Then we can get to work on-fixing this craziness. It’s the beginning of a long,hard journey towards sanity. Let’s at least begin to clean it up! There are no simple answers.
