If we were all childhood siblings and behaving the way we fellow citizens are acting and reacting, Mom already would have taken away every last one of our toys and privileges, restricted our food to vegetables and water only for a couple of months, and wore out our sorry tails with the bread board.
And Dad? We would be praying for Mom's punishment to be the only penalty to come our way. Almost nothing would be off- limits to that angry man, who would be furiously determined to teach us a lesson. One that we kids would NEVER be able to forget.
How dare we treat our fellow humans with such careless and cruel inhumanity? There are no societal issues, no belief systems, no "But, but, but, but you don’t understand, I been disrespected!" that gives any person or any group a reason or right to murder someone.
Since when did our country fall into such disgrace? Oh yes, all of us could see the rapid descent we’ve been on the last twenty years. Like we are on a runaway mountain train with nothing to stop it as it flies further down the tracks. But lately? Our train is no longer on a rapid descent, and it’s not even in a free fall. It is being pushed from behind by a two-hundred-ton locomotive engine, straight into hellish acts that defy belief.
We have recently witnessed the brutal cold blooded killing of a young man, which in itself is horrendous. And even before that happened, we had already seen way too much brutality and lawlessness in our country. But now we are having supposedly grown adults actually celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk! Openly, gloatingly, and with angry malice. Simply because they did not agree with his views of God, our country, or his opinions on how to live life.
What has happened in the hearts of people in the USA??? What has happened to civility? What about holding fast to your own opinions, and at the same time, courteously letting another have theirs? Without insisting- by physical force if necessary- that EVERYONE accept and agree with your view, opinions and behavior?
Folks, it’s way past time this is stopped.
We have no Mom and Dad to step in and make us all wish we had shut our mouths, and stopped all the viciousness. I wish there was. But we are on our own. And it is time to put a stop to this horrible treatment of each other. Or we will be looking at the Father God stepping in to put a stop to it all. And that ain't gonna be pretty.
Yes, I realize that at this point, there are probably some of you that resent my reference to our Creator, the Father God, because you do not believe in Him. Again, I repeat, that is your right to disagree with my beliefs. But it not all right for you, or me, to incite violence in order to force each other to accept our opinion.
Enough is enough.
