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.
