We live in a culture of VIOLENCE.. (visit any public school and see how youth treat each other.. learned behavior)
Physical violence is the lowest vibration and manifestation of a culture of violence.
Yet it begins with thoughts and beliefs that the only way to assert oneself in this life is to become some sort of bad ass bully.
Because the world is a tough place and people are just waiting to hurt you.
We often see vulnerability as weak.
Therefore we vocally or energetically communicate to ourselves and others:
to Muscle through, get tuff, don't ever let anyone see you struggle,
get them before they get you, don't be a Punk,
Do them like they did you, Get even...etc.
And this is where the "advice" to ourselves and others tends to end.
Very little is said about the source of our anger.
How violence comes from FEAR and we are afraid due to false ideas of ourselves and our values, due to holding on to pain in our minds, in our physical and emotional bodies... holding on to being victimized and afraid to share, afraid to say that we hurt
or
acknowledge that we hurt others in our own moments of weakness when we abuse our power.
It's un-American to apologize and reveal where we are human....
HURT PEOPLE, HURT PEOPLE...
And in our individualistic mind-frames we replay Hollywood images of lone gun revenge because
forgiveness doesn't sell movies, or newspapers or get you popular vote.
Doing the right thing is seen as TO HARD and thankless...
Compassion isn't adventurous enough.
Mental and emotional healthcare seems to only be viable if facilitated by pharmaceuticals and institutional profit.
We live in a culture of VIOLENCE and the senseless death can not end end until
we choose INDIVIDUALLY and collectively to bring our violence nature to the light an consciously choose a new way of being.
JUST A THOUGHT....
