Consumed
by the latest updates on Newtown Connecticut’s news, I am filled
with anguish for the children, their parents and the shooter; empathy
knows no discrimination. And news by it’s very own definition is
never good. This I know all too well having been there, done that and
bearing the scars.
Though
I have publishing nothing for the past, now five days, I have written
my heart out and my angst is unworthy of your attention. Sufficient
to the day are the joys and sorrows within for anyone including the
remaining family of the assassin . . . I pray for his soul. It would
have been a suicide of no consequence, not ‘news’, had he simply
done away with himself otherwise.
As
a child I learned to tell time by light, not clocks, while living
with my maternal grandmother. To bathe she would turn on the hot
water heater and then turn it off; otherwise she would heat water on
the stove and fill a tub. There were far fewer people then and their
birth and death were celebrated. Now the world is overpopulated by
one third and we, the populous are going insane: wholesale. Expect
more insanity. It is not guns but mental health. However, true to
history, small people tend to seek power over others becoming tyrants
in the process.
Where
are the wise?
When
we need them most?
Reflecting
on my angst, now, I recognize that the noise, or so called news, is
killing my objectivity. Not all terrorist wear costumes different
from ours. Most, that I am aware of are politicians, bankers and
stock manipulators who write laws to condone and conceal their theft.
With
each passing day, remembering the day of my son’s death, December
10th, I have found sanity through reading the words of those whose
wisdom is worth remembering in any or all times of crisis. At the
same time never fully able to ignore or be indifferent to the 30
million children dying yearly due to neglect.
Have
a care. We are what we consume in all dimension and parameters: food,
water, air, the earth itself. Beware of the terrorist who consume us
in slavery. The greatest con artist claim to be “Public Servants”
while they steal you blind and kill our children. Why should 1% have
all they want while we slave and die for them? Collaboration is
win/win not communism; it is a middle way. Balanced.
They
serve nothing but themselves; their vanity is an addiction to power
and wealth. Mine is to wisdom sought. That is why I write.
