when will it stop?

there is so much violence in today society
and i not just talking about the violence on our local news programs or our entertaiment outlets or the simple fact that one nation is declaring war on another.

the violence that i am talking of is the violence that goes on in our citys, neighborhood, schools, churches, playground, backyards, living rooms and bedrooms.
the violence that is done to our mental conciousness and our spiritual awarenesses.

if we are *in a dated with words like:

Faggot
Nigger
rapist
murder
sodomey
molestation
guns
death
terrorist
bombs

and many more that my mind has stored but are just not out in the open

if we are *in a dated with words like these
who do we become if we are merely children
who imatate there atmosphere.

the though of it is spooky electricity
dont kiss the beast.

as long as there is man kind, violence will always exsist. the truth is people thrive off of violence and that's why it's still here 2 this very day. I think human being are born with a natural violent instinct,it's called anger and sometimes can lead 2 rage, the thing is we have 2 be the one's who knows how 2 control it. Anywayz, words "such as nigger and faggot" It's not the words that hurt, but it's the content ... i just can't believe how so many people give words so much power ... it's just a word... it won't make me or break me... we need 2 stop giving credit 2 all the nagativity that exsist ... if u pretend it's not there maybe it'll go away smile

it is scary. is the horse leading the cart, or the cart leading the horse?

if violence were banned from the airwaves (i.e. sucky songs about racism, violence, tv shows where everyone gets blown away) would people think about more positive things?

in this sense i like prince's notion of a 'digital garden', because i do think that society is wallowing in a feedback cycle where life is imitating the worst in life which is imitating the worst in art.

most religions agree that a healthy mindset is a form of self-discipline we should strive for.

but it's hard in this world.

I think the only reason it seems to be so bad, is these days we can access information 27/7.

Once upon at time, much was hidden, or was happening in another person's space.

i will die 4 u. some one once sang that in a song. and then the story went "prince is dead"
some years later
it was revealed in a local paper
"he is alive".
What a fucking mockery of his very own Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.


if we would realize that The TRUE christ is here and he is amongst us
watching us
our every move
recording everything
he IS Keeping Record
and he is Preparing his WRATH.

BE Afraid

because when its over ITS OVER.

Intellectual trends ultimately drive a society's direction; the media is just one expression.

We are currently in the post-modern era, which is the philosophy of hopelessness and destruction. An intellectual vaccuum, a void waiting to be filled by new ideas.

And nature abhors a vaccuum...

when will it cease - when we cease to exist (or learn to stop invading each others space)...until then...

religion - hmmph!

there should be only one rule...

do unto others as u would have others do unto U...
"thats what they taught us in elementary school" wtf? are they teaching our youth today - that patriotism is bad, religion is bad, moral and ethical standards are outmoded and furthermore the conscience should in essence cease to be...

wake up... whoops too late...the past is the future look behind u to see where we will fall...

i seek not a man or a light i seek absolution...

When the greed and lust for power are gone. Man wants to feel superior to other men so he has to find ways to separate and define himself as superior. Then he can justify
the things that he takes as his reward for being superior.
Let women run things for awhile. I am really curious to see how things would turn out.

Video games. Nobody ever killed anybody else before video games came along, so it must be their fault! smile

i'm curious too, and i'd like to see more women in political office for sure.

but, once on the nature channel there was a special about ape colonies, both patriarchal and matriarchal. if i remember it was found that the females were capable of agression and violence, when put in roles that the males in other colonies 'traditionally' assumed.

i still disagree. because, you spend all that time being afraid, what kind of message you sending out to your uncle's cousin's niece and nephews?

don't be holding up your sword in anticipated dread of being struck down! the beast cannot take you without you take his hand first. put your hand out in LOVE man, and even the beast will cringe back. show em how it's done

fear is not how we change or inspire others to change. imo we cannot be 'cowed' into an understanding of god. fear closes the heart chakra, and the mind's eye.
