Upon reading this article I felt sad and even shed tears when the “Hugs Not Walls” family groups came together.
According to Articles 2 and 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the discriminating, torturing and degrading of any human being is intolerable so why have society allowed themselves to continuously break their own rules for effective living? I’ll tell you why!
When the head falls ill or prey to any type of bacteria it infects the whole body if not tended to properly and in a timely manner. Like how tapeworm is infiltrated into the body through infected food or drink carrying its eggs or worm, so also parasites take their nutrients from their hosts. In any organization, nation, country, hospital, church, school, place of employment, etcetera if the head isn’t on par with its own code of conduct, those that are to follow him also deter. Any time the code is emphasized as mandatory and is enforced by those that lead then the people also fall into place like soldiers standing guard. It’s detriment to your people, your land and your flag that you uphold the written law but understand more so to God who positions each leader (Romans 13:1) you must answer for the lack thereof. I tell you if the head is sick the body will have difficulty standing in line. If you want to fix the body then work on the head. If you had problems with the way a tree gave off its fruits each year you would begin by fixing the problem at its roots, cleaning, watering, nourishing, fertilizing at the base to get better results in the fruits. So also to begin at fixing a continuous problem in society each person must look within to bring about the best in them as the head of each department realizes to steer their employees on the straight and narrow, you also must be just, fair and respectably human in your demands and requests. If you’re asking a reporter to bring in something, anything without considering the cost of the pain, shame, hurt, insult, torture, discrimination that another has to endure just so the front page news can come from your center then you are indeed feeding the greed beast that seeks to devour all kindness, values, prestige, learned formation that was instilled to keep us human. Respect for life and person must be first and foremost at the top of your list. Even if reports seem “cheesy” to some, it’s still being read! If you asked me, the whole world need some cheesy news to return society back to its former state of caring for others instead of being served with a load of racist, bias, bigotry news that promotes high blood pressure, heartburn or depression. Once upon a time people were courteous to mind their manners and not hurt each others’ feelings even though ‘freedom of speech’ was still an upheld right. Now it seems as though that same right became a doormat to wipe one’s feet as anyone who is considered a minority in anyone’s eyes is degraded, diminished, discriminated and tortured openly as the younger generation watch and is receiving bitterness, hatred and cruelty as the newfound value to corrupt their new world. Society seem to be indeed becoming a race of savage forming. We came out from our barbaric ways and became civilized so it had appeared, why return to cavemen ages? It is not a compliment to our ancestry who fought so hard to bring us to this age. We are indeed lacking and are in need of healing the head so that the full body will compliment the fruitful continuation of generations to come. We still have work to do at improving. Let us be patient with self and others as this process is put into function and fruition.
