14. We, our society, has created it
Sun Dec 16, 2012, 09:37 AM
Dec 2012

We have formed this with our own extreme fear, the fear of the "other", the need for "personal protection", the fear of not being as tough as someone else, the collective political fear of the NRA. Not to mention the fear of mentioning the "unmentionable"; mental illness in our society, in our loved ones, in ourselves, and the need to care for this suffering and see it as any physical suffering on this Earth plane. Our constant fears are to blame, we created this, our society killed those babies. That's why I have trouble with the people who quickly use the anti-spirit baseball bat on anyone attempting to find any lesson here. "How could any God let these babies be slaughtered?". No God did, we did, we aren't any God and our spirits are buried in fear.

This place is not easy. But people have trauma every day, and I hate it, but it is true. Maybe some of the generally silent survivors of the constant, singular, unnoticed traumas will get a voice to help these poor people who have been thrust into this living hell and told to SURVIVE. I hope so, there has to be some good outcome of so many suffering so long.

And maybe our society will grow a backbone for a change. We are the biggest bunch of wimps in the Universe with all our hateful fears, I'm certain of it. That needs to change.
