VIOLENCE
Violence resides in all of us. We
all carry a dark side. When we engage in war, it is all of us that are
responsible, not just the chosen few. With each school shooting, each mall
killing, each street corner revenge, humanity becomes less than what it could
have been. When we take an eye for an eye, we become no better than our enemy.
We move away from the common good, toward the common bad. Before long, we
accept the common bad as okay, something we can live with. This is the law of
diminishing humanity. We are all responsible. We sit around and watch ourselves
slide back into the primordial ooze.
