Murder and War
Its part of our society isn’t it? Take a cursory glance at media and you will see millions of imagines depicting violence. Have you ever seen a cover of a movie without someone holding a gun on it? Take a look at all the popular games on the consoles that your children are playing. Many involve killing vast array of opponents until you reach the end of a level and where a big boss awaiting. And what do you have to do to win? Kill it. Some games even involve the unconscious justification of killing Muslims.
What is this teaching them? They have to be ruthless and they have to smart to kill or remove all their obstacles that are in their lives. We watch movies with people fighting others and sometimes killing each other but the one who survives has to be ruthless.
Is it any wonder that we see so much violence in our societies now? Is it any wonder that life is cheap now? People are killed by the thousand and we close our eyes pretending that if we keep them shut tight enough we won’t see it actually occur.
We live in times when leaders blame others for violence but who are training their commando’s? Who are those countries of free thinking nations who are teaching torture techniques to brown people? Who are those people who secretly fund two parties against each other whilst they steal all the oil? Yes it’s being stolen because those people get nothing from what they own.
In big gatherings of pretense they claim to do all this good yet that aid that was promised, that made us all look so good, was actually loans with crippling interest. Does it look good now?
Why is it that buying products here is like stealing? Who is making the money? Another fruit revolution keeps the prices down but how many poor people had to pay with their lives for my banana? For that jewel on that ring? For the gold on her hand?
Why has modern life become such a drag? All those things we rely on could be taken away because the earth’s resources are not going to last forever.
J.F. K. Said, ‘Man must put an end to war or war will put an end to man.’ We look like we are on our way out now as wars are being fought over resources as they put the smoke screen of terrorism in front of you to fool you.
In G. Orwell’s 1984 there is a department that re-writes history to make its country look like a force for good and others as forces of evil. Sound familiar?
We still have a chance to change things but we need people of vision to change our societies for the better. Even though changing the government is impossible because politicians are just puppets and the real people in charge are unknown. How is that democracy when all we have is choice of puppets!
We are in real need of peace makers who negotiate and not peace makers who negotiate behind nuclear bombs.
