Every day I read the news, watch the news from around the world. What horrors are people creating? Are you as shocked as I am with what's been going on, and getting worse? Mostly using children as weapons and as objects to satisfy any sick need. Parents kidnapping and killing children intentionally to punish a partner or former partner; killing children through neglect and stupidity - letting them die while sitting in a hot car while their parent does something else; killing children for pleasure; killing children during lewd acts; drunk drivers; raping and/or killing children for blackmail, or slavery, or political power. Then there are similar crimes against women. Some even against abusive husbands. This week terrorists took hundreds of young children hostage in a school in Russia and killed some. Terrorists blow up children, using them as human shields. Terrorists in the Sudan raping and killing for thrills. Insane people cutting off children's limbs so they can look more pathetic for handouts. It seems like each day it gets worse.
People are not property. If you are not happy with how your life is going, killing another won't make it better. Emotionally abusing another won't make it better. People don't have the right to destroy another life unless it's in self-defense. Killing never solves anything. It doesn't take away pain; it creates MORE pain for more people. And after a killer dies that pain of murder stays with them, their soul, until they understand what they've done in the deepest level - often by feeling what their victim experienced at their hands.
THINK BEFORE YOU ACT! If you kill someone you will face the consequences of your actions - you cannot escape it. What goes around, comes around, too. You will receive what you put out, some how, some day. These are not just cute cliches. They are real principles of life. Do you want to put out good, or evil? Is the loss of your freedom and the rest of your life in jail or facing a death penalty worth it? Is it worth the pain and suffering of your family, of the family of your victim? Is living with a guilty conscience worth it? It's never worth it. Ask anyone in prison or on death row. Ask the survivors of heinous crimes. Each life effects hundreds if not thousands of others. You change people's futures forever and deprive them of so much. No one has that right, not even you.
If your life or the life of someone you care about is so miserable GET HELP, GET CONTROL OVER EMOTIONS, AND HARM NO ONE. If you suffered because of another, torturing or killing someone else will not relieve your suffering. Threatening or harming someone who doesn't want to have a relationship with you will NOT make it a relationship. It doesn't work that way. It takes two people who love and care to be together to make a relationship work. If someone says "It's over, leave me alone," leave them alone! Accept it and get on with your own life. You own nobody but yourself. Don't poison everything. Get help. It is a glorious achievement to master one's own temper.
THINK BEFORE YOU ACT! Don't drive drunk. Don't leave your child in a car, PERIOD! Don't leave your child in any water without you right there able to help them should they go under. Don't keep guns in your home, children will find them and use them. If you give birth to a baby you don't want, take it to a hospital so it can be adopted into a good home. Don't take drugs or drink when you're pregnant. Once you are a parent you're responsible for another life. If you don't want kids, prevent them from being conceived. Don't think you can get behind a moving weapon (car) and can use it recklessly or carelessly. If you can't accept that a boy or girl friend, or spouse, doesn't want to be with you any more, let them go, divorce them, but don't kill them. Get help! Use common sense and have some compassion for others and start loving yourself in a healthy way. Don't find yourself living a life of regrets. Life is too short and precious for that.
