Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 I've been away for a while but am totally stressed out with this new war. Isn't it time to stop war-ing on each other? All of the great teachers that ever lived before us told us violence wasn't a good thing. I am also disturbed by the stories of the suffering and deaths of the Iraqi people, after the big bombs hit their cities. One small boy lost both arms, his body burned, and he is in deep pain but no physical pain can equal the loss of his mother, his family...9 people died from that one hit. Why are the old men sending the young boys and girls to be killed and to kill? Isn't it time we taught all children in our lives to be peace-makers? When is our society here in the USA going to clean up the media, the video games, the books that teach violence not peace? We have to start someplace. Like I heard recently, we are at a cross-roads and we either let go the violence in our world or we change. It's time to put the generals to sleep and bring on the environmentalists, the peace-makers and stop this nonsense. In this country alone we have more criminals behind bars, more street crime and the main reason women get injured or killed is from the men they live with at home. But no one of importance, (with the big power to change things), seems to Get It. What does it take to root out the evil human beings who run the world today? It's important to remember we are all connected, by DNA and by our being part of this living Earth. We are no better than any other species, in fact with out big brains, we have managed to make more chaos than as ever been seen on the Planet... And one more note, when are women going to be able to join the men to rule in a more balanced world? Deanna @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Plato: Most humans live as if in a dim cave. We're chained, he says, facing a blank wall, with a fire at our backs. All we see are flickering shadows playing across the cave wall, and this we take for reality. Only if we turn away from the wall, shadows, and escape from the cave, can we hope to see the true light of reality...
