TOO MUCH FOCUS ON PUNISHMENT

I just finished watching movie about crimes and punishments and it stirred an emotion of anger and justice inside me. I started thinking of all the unspeakable crimes that are perpetrated and go unnoticed in our society these days.

The real question is, “what do you do with that anger”? After all, don’t we all get angry once in a while? Haven’t we all said “That’s not fair” and “He deserved what he got”? If you’re like me, you’ve said and meant this but was that the right thing to say? Was that the right way to act and think? Are we thinking about the solution in this frame of mind or are we just focused on how unfairly we’ve been treated or are we allowing our own bullying instinct to take over when someone gets punished for a crime they committed?

At what point in that criminals’ life would someone made a difference after all, it was more than likely the environment and society around him that caused him/her to do what they did and that same environment and society now wants to punish him or her. Does that make any sense?

Just like any maddening cycle, we have to change the way we are grooming criminals of any type so where does it start? Each of us has a circle of influence that in some small way we have say so and our words mean something. This is where we can spark a change that can make a difference. Just remember not to be involved in judging, criticizing, pigeon holing, pointing the finger, blaming, classifying or hating. Instead, let’s find the solution.

Be the change you want to see in stead of trying to change those around you. We need a cure, NOT a band aid.

DO WE REALLY NEED THE GOVERNMENT TO TELL US TO BE NICE

ANTI BULLYING LAW IS STRUCK DOWN in

NEW YOUR LEGISLATURE -

In a way I'm glad this law was taken down. Do we really need the government to force us to be nice to each other. Does being forced to be nice really make a person nice or will they just find another way to be mean. In my years of experience dealing with the human ego and phsyce I can tell you that people are a result of thier surroundings. It is each persons job to project kindness in everything they do so that all may be affected and invited to join in the unity of peace and harmony with their fellow man. This is the only way to create and invite change. Check this out and remember to BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE.
