To some degree, we are all tigers pacing in our tiny cages. Driven to the point of compulsive commotion to quiet the raging instinctual urge for a more substantial existence. We are natural, powerful beings; we belong to the earth and when we lose our connection to it we are unbalanced. We place ourselves in these cages. We lock ourselves away from the world while we look through the bars of social media and fool ourselves into thinking that is real life. We worship walking skeletons that arent held accountable for anything and have more money than personality. We are being fooled into thinking we are a part of something that doesnt really exist. All the while our spirits grow restless. For some the stress of captivity is too much and they lash out in violence against the faces they see on LED screens, in movies, walking unaware in the halls to their next class. With nothing of substance in their lives, nothing real to care about, no sense of the hardship, loss, regret or consequence, they cannot truly appreciate love. Without love there is no life. These kids that are going and shooting their classmates and children and innocent bystanders are grasping desperately for something real. They were betrayed by the image of what their false society said they should be and they had nothing real to turn to when that failed. They paced in their cage until they couldnt take it anymore. Give your kids real life, real experiences. Let them fall, let them fail, teach them to fight to stand up for themselves and to stand up for those who cant stand up for themselves. Teach them to treat people who they want to be treated, teach them about the world we live in, take them out in the woods, take their cell phones and laptops away sometimes and replace them with real experiences. Teach them to love themselves, love this world and they will in turn love the people in it. The probelm is not guns, it is not policies or laws or politicians. The problem is individuals who did not fit into the mold they had created for themselves, who could not handle the stress of living in a cage when they knew they were meant for a more meaningful life but no one taught them how to find it or that it even existed. Thats all I have to say about that.
