It's Been a While...

Busy life does that when you have little time and playing other things.

But today, I put some time on the side to point out something that I think is important to know about... Especially the tragedy that has happened in Connetitcut that involved a number of children being killed.

A few too many times people claim that the rash of killings come from the fact that our society is desensitized to Violence because of violent video games, violent movies and the like.

That people are becoming deranged by supporting such things.

The sad thing about it all, it isn't JUST the media in question that sets people off.

People have such short term memories. They assume the 'here and now', forgetting history of the world, that people have been killing people in masses and it has nothing to do with violent media.

Mankind, through out the centuries, have been killing each other and committing atrocities since we first learned how to use tools. Our history is rife with man killing man for food, for love, for revenge, for land, for everything. And we have done it far longer than 100 years, we have done it for thousands of years.

We like to believe we are above it all, but to be honest, we are still animals, creatures with base desires and needs.

People say, what kind of monster would shoot children... Innocent beings.

I am afraid to say, "Look in the mirror."

I know the statement is insulting, unbelieveable and simply impossible.

But again... Mankind is a sort of monster in and of itself.

We pollute the air and water we need to breath and drink.

We spread across the land, consuming resources and making large wastes.

We pass our problems to the next generation, demanding to keep things the same despite the knowledge that to do so is still creating the problem.

We ignore that we are responsible for things, passing it on to someone else to bear it.

To be fair... We are monsters... Every one of us. We have no excuse for what is happening now. Our only explanation is simply that WE need to actually accept the fact that we are monsters in our own world. We have to help each other and accept the fact that we all need help and we should help others. We create the problems in this world that affect us, in one way or another. The blame is never to point it at "It's the media's fault." or "It's the system's fault..." In the end, it is OUR fault.
