Mea Culpa

Social media make it all to convenient to "Like" and "Share" something which in the moment seems appropriate, but in a different light, a better light, is not.

The message may be clear and my stance on the issue just, but as I often say "It's not what you say, but how you say it" which communicates or fails to do so. Communication can be thwarted or destroyed by the way in which it is delivered.

I am appalled by violent rhetoric, and I find myself perpetuating it contrary to my deeply held principle of non-violence.

Paradox and puzzlement, life is full of these. Do we all not want the same things? Peace? Prosperity for all?

The road to these states of being are fraught with different views on how to achieve the goal.

There are those who believe only strength and brutality will deter evil acts of crime.

To them I posit: isn't the best way to deal with desperate criminals to remove their cause for desperation?

More on this in the future.
