I'm sure you all know what has happened in a Russian School. I will not rehash the details....because quite frankly I think I will not be able to continue if I do so.
My question is...yet again...WHY? Why do we continue to inflict such pain on Innocent Children. Why do we all act so concerned....but turn a blind eye. Why don't we care enough to do anything. We are the Adults here, we are the Protectors, the Guides and Teachers to Our Children. Children....Innocents... who deserve the right to grow and learn peacefully...who deserve to be taught the way to live and let live. Children who will grow into adults and bestow our legacy on their own Children.
Children who experience and suffer the mistakes of their elders learn to accept these atrocities as our way of life. We must break the cycle and bestow a legacy of acceptance, trust, tolerance, love and freedom for all to exist peacefully.
We are as responsible for the evil perpetuated in our world as the terrorists that create such violence and death. Because we do nothing ...but wait for the next crisis to unfold....and then fade into the shadow of the next.
You may have a feeling of detatchment as you watch the horrifying images from the comfort of your lounge chair.....you may sympathise with the terrified looks on the parents of these childrens faces as they frantically search for their child....and the pain and finality as knowledge of loss hits hard......You look over at your wife...husband.....your children......'Thank God they're safe'....'Thank God that's not me'.......yes, it's nice to be on the outside looking in.....and yes, you're lucky it's not you....but it could be....it's not now.....but one day it could be.....
I am not writing this to scare anybody......I just need to point out that if we don't do something about our detatchment.....one day it could be you and your family and you may hope that others may do more than sympathise....and then casually change the channel.....but care.....put your foot down......Enough is Enough.
There is no need for our primal instinct in our world today.....We are more important than Territory.....We are more important than Power....We are more important than Wealth....And our Children are more important than Us.
We must put our children....All our Children first...And let them lead us to a bright future.
