Violence
October 20th, 2011 → 11:26 am @ Shanti
Violence in modern society is a real problem, but the reason for it is not so obscure, surely. If we look around us, we see violence amongst ordinary citizens everywhere. Take the occasion, when you are driving along on the road and want to make a turn. Another car driver comes up behind you and is in a real hurry. He doesn’t wait for you to quietly make your turn and wants to pass you, before you can even attempt to make this turn. You make the turn and he gets mad, because he cannot complete his pass. What do you get? This mad driver starts yelling and ranting, sticking his finger out of the window and accuses you for moving in his path, which you had chosen before he was even close to you.
There seems to be no tolerance left amongst a lot of people. Not all people though. There are those who are very patient and these people are the ALKALINE people. The acidic types are always more angry and spiteful, because of their nature and occasions such as the above suit them, to build up their acid level to a comfortable one. I described this phenomena in my book. It has always fascinated me, but it has been observed by my mentor and myself for many years.
Violence is everywhere and is shown on TV, in movies and during sport. Sport today is a business where violence is allowed to be part of it. Anger amongst sportsmen and women is the norm and is always shown by the cameras as a type of `sideshow` performance. The cameras zoom-in on these occasions and make a big deal out of them. You know what I mean? The footballers punching one another, the cars crashing into each other or safety barriers on the racetrack, the motorbikes sliding from the track and the cameras follow every detail of the riders misfortune. Not once, but repeatedly these occasions are being shown during and after the race and of course make great headlines in the paper press for days to follow.
Than the best of all SPORTS. Where 2 men or women as well, are put in a cage and almost fight to the death, punching and hitting and kicking each other, till one is declared the winner, whilst the looser is blood-stained and exhausted, lying there, needing medical attention. This is shown on television and families sit there gawking and yelling with children present, who should be in bed by then. The influence of these violent pictures, become a norm in the lives of children and young adults, going through life thinking that violence is okay.
This is showing up when young adults go to clubs at night, drink heavily or go on drugs and when a disagreement occurs, it erupts like a volcano into an all-out brawl, where there is no regard for life, as the brains of the revellers don’t logically think of what is going to happen when the fights start. Kicking, punching and all sorts of nasty things like stabbing will happen and often it is ONE victim, attacked by a number of attackers. The chances of the attacked person getting away without serious injury, are very limited to say the least. Most times the attacked person finishes up with severe injuries, which very often leave him so badly damaged, that his whole life is affected negatively. Meanwhile the attackers get away altogether, or if caught, get a minor sentence and live a happy life afterwards. What is the sense of it all? This is shown on the television the next day and repeated often for the younger generation to see and maybe copy. I am a person who loves everyone and I have no malice towards anyone. I may at times not like a person, but that does not make me hate that person. The easiest way of overcoming this situation, is to keep out of his way and keep the peace that way.
I have seen children’s programs on TV that in my opinion are a beginning of violence There is hitting, yes with soft toys, but the act of hitting is always wrong. Parents allow their children to hit them at times, but this should be discouraged. Hitting is opposite to loving and hitting is an expression of not liking someone. I get really furious when I see a child hit his parents and it takes me all my willpower not to say something and stop the act. Parents, please love your children and show them what NICE is all about. Cuddling and playing happy games, romping with them on the lawn outside or on the floor in the house, letting them know that you care for them in a loving way. Have fun and laugh a lot and turn OFF the `idiot box`. There is very little of any value to watch. If there is something interesting or educational, by all means sit and watch these programs and sit with the children, as sometimes they want to ask questions from you, to fill in the spaces not explained in the show. If you are there, they can ask you immediately and get an answer from their very own, and loving parent. They get the truth! When violence strikes: TURN THAT OFF IMMEDIATELY and tell them why you do that. Tell them we love each other and we hate naughty things. We don’t want to watch people hurt each other as we don’t like to be hurt either. The television is such a convenient way of entertaining the children, BUT.., the stuff they take in! Mute the advertising, because there is a lot of negative stuff you don’t need. The brain of a child under 7 years of age, is learning about half of all it is going to learn in its whole life. That’s a lot of information and if the subjects are negative, this child will be a very negative child and later adult in society.
I was lucky, that my children were brought up in the country, where they entertained themselves on the farm, climbing trees, seeing the bird life and other animals doing their things and learning from them. They did not have to be educated in sex; they saw what the animals did to reproduce and it came naturally to them. I remember my little daughter observing a rooster mounting a hen and she said lovingly:”Look Daddy, they love each other.” That was so innocently beautiful, I could not believe my ears, but that is the way she had learned about male and female relationships. They saw the bucks and the goats mate and did not blink an eyelid when it happened; it was nature at work in its most beautiful way. Love makes the world go round in a beautiful rhythm and we know it. Sometimes we forget this an allow negativity to enter our lives. Society brings in a lot of it and it happens slowly. Big business advertisers are cunning and get the message to you slowly, eventually you start to believe it as the truth. Watch out folks! I would like to see all of you be aware of the tricks of the trade. I was given a book to read on marketing and I have not been able to start reading it yet, because I am getting negative vibes from the book. Apparently it is supposed to be very clever, but I don’t want to sell for the sake of selling and making money. I want to get my book and the information I am writing to you, because I know it is good information. I kept he price of my book low, so you can afford to buy a copy. I will take me longer to recoup my expenses, but that’s the way it is. I hope you will like the information and I hope even more, that your life will change for the better many-fold.
With love Shanti BAN VIOLENCE FOREVER, ESPECIALLY AT HOME!
