A Hard Thought


We knew America was not immune after 9/11
It was then that we joined the rest of the world’s nations in dealing with the fringe political elements of arrogance, anarchy, ambivalence and dispassion. We missed one, however, mental illness.
The Naval Yard killings are just another reminder that there are people in the world who are mentally ill. And we need to recognize it and deal with it.
The killings at the Kenya mall are different, but the result is the same. These people care nothing for life. These militant terrorists care only for the agenda of violence thinking it leads to their supremacy. They cannot see the difference between life and living.
Life is a gift from the All That Is. Living is what we choose to do with that life.
In living, some choose the venues of literature, music, art, business, medicine and the labor of working for family achievement.
Killing, terrorism, fanaticism and dispassionate awareness for the welfare of the “other,” are the antithesis of what we spiritually are.
If we accept that a loving deity created all of us, then it follows that each and every soul on earth, despite their individual choices, beliefs or non-beliefs is part and parcel of that Deity.
In trying to understand why some souls, all of whom are part of the holy whole, would choose mayhem and murder rather than the emulation of Supreme Love is a hard cognitive stretch.
There is only one word that works for me in trying to understand this struggle.
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!
What if this whole theatre of life is a script from before birth that we co-designed to teach ourselves that divine love is just that! UNCONDITIONAL.
Damn, that’s hard to accept.
