Violence is the Last Refuge of the Incompetent

Where does the murderous rage come from?  that is the real question. When it is inflicted on another, there is outrage.

The fear-based society we live in promotes violence to solve　issues. Fear is covered by anger that leads to rage, to hurting others in revenge, to killing others from projecting their inner pain, to killing themselves to escape that inner hopelessness and helplessness. I tried suicide to run away from my inner pain of trauma in a childhood and marriage of domestic violence to a psychopathic, alcoholic man. Japanese students are committing suicide in vans because of similar circumstances and hopelessness. The media just does not tell these stories. Our society does not teach love.　

People are in survival from all the perpetuated fears of war, family dysfunction, finances, job survival and more. The news is all about violence.  When　people are in fear, the last option is violence according to Isaac Asimov. He states "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."　

Society actually keeps people in fear through religious threats, medical diagnoses, laws for punishment, even street corner traffic　cameras. When are we going to see life as love, abundance, and prosperity? When are we going to teach our society to love our neighbors, instead of offer movies, television violence, toys and video games to shoot others and ourselves? As I left a movie theater recently there were assault riffles on the video game in the lobby. Then when people do it in real life, people are surprised.　

The fruits of this are all over the news and media. It is time to reverse our thoughts into productive, kind, and caring for our fellows and neighbors. This resolves mental illness from their fear and survival.  Anger has to come out somewhere and some how.

Now, we have a wake up call to reverse our thinking. Changing our thoughts will reverse the whole problem. It is not guns; it is our fear　based thinking. Fear is the illusion that can be replaced with the love of reality. We come together in a loving spirit. When we have love-based lives, no one will want to hurt their self or another. You start sending love to those hurting so they will not act out their hurts on others. This is free and works.

I stopped my husband from beating me up by sending forgiveness and love. He never touched me again. This story has been published twice. Love heals not collecting guns, or passing laws, but by changing our life style into loving our neighbors as ourselves.
