We are What We Think
I hear it every day. People upset and fed up with certain laws, the crime rate and various other social issues that seem to be at the forefront of the news headlines today.
Judges, with the same legal foundation, vacillate back and forth on key legal decisions that impact the lives of many creating needless turmoil. Politicians go around in circles endlessly debating the same issues that often go unchanged.
For every kidnapper or murderer captured and prosecuted another is waiting in the wings for the right victim to happen along.
We see our fellow humans’ exhibit unbelievable decisions and behaviors in stores, at sporting and entertainment events and even at the drive-in of the local fast food establishment.
People comment online under news stories, videos or in social sites and within minutes they turn their focus to mocking the views of others and eventually, personally attacking and slandering others.
However, after all of the finger pointing the focus is still on the symptoms, the end results and not on the true source at the core of these concerns.
You see, the true concern isn’t in dealing with the result of the crime, the capturing and punishing of someone for the heartbreaking loss of a beautiful gifted person or a precious child whose life has been cut short by a senseless impulsive act.
The actual source is one thing, human thinking.
It’s not the actual crime, but rather that a human being actually held the thought of the crime and accepted it as a reasonable decision and action. Without that thought the crime would never have existed.
Every crime, every law, every political decision, every media report, every vile comment and everything our society is or ever will be is the result of human thinking. Change human thinking; improve the quality of thought based on strong principles and values and the results of collective human thought change.
The solution is not punishment for decision and action, but rather isolating WHY someone would harbor such a thought and define it as acceptable before the decision and action.
Negative behavior and crime are not stopped by laws, history has proven that, but is immediately and irrevocably changed when human thought is cleansed of the need or desire to hold such negativity.
Think about it.
