And So -- We Suffer from 'Consumption'!!
To look at some of the facts we have to stretch our concepts:
The largest of whales consume plankton -- a very tiny and biologically small organism found in ocean ecosystems. Then again, when baby sheep, goats, wolves, lions, tigers, bears, zebra, antelope and horses are put together they play instead of eat each other. As we all age we continue to use our digestive tracts and must fill our stomachs. It's all part of the process.
Preteen boys torment houseflies by pulling their wings off once the flies are stuck on fly paper. Girls hug kittens and doggies. Although 'People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' (P.E.T.A.) continues to protest -- still in high school biology classes frogs are decimated and in college classes students dissect cats.
Don't these children know that the small predator of a 'kitty' is one of the most aggressive and ruthless animals in the world? They stalk and kill more than they can eat. I ask -- how many animals really waste their food? Other ones like dogs usually don't. Good for them!
For humans -- many adolescents are attracted and mesmerized by 'gory' movies. Running car crashes, knives and machetes along with chain saws are big hits. What images are we portraying?
Yet we all have our favorite charities [And damn those who don't agree with us!!] Somewhere in all of us is a soft spot -- for we all DO have to give -- at least something.
Witness my friend Kristy who confronts a woman in a grocery store because said woman yelled at the man with Downs Syndrome who bagged her items. Kristy also cares for the lonely Autistic kids who I once taught how to swim, as well as, the hyperactive ones who have ingested too much sugar.
But ask her to care any about those who have taken "little pills" from a psychiatrist and she accuses them of cheating on their sobriety! So it seems that we have both pet charities AND pet peeves. A person can tolerate one and hate another. Or, more likely: a person can be tolerated by some people and be hated by others. Where does the circle end?
It has been reported that tribes of different cavemen [with differing DNA] killed each other in battles over land. Were reports also true that they would eat parts of the dead enemy's bodies? When did civilization arrive? When did we begin burying people's bodies? (Why do you think that tradition even began?) Do we really know when mankind stopped eating flesh and learned the truth about human history?
Look, the circle can be pretty brutal and cold when you think about it. But I am consoled that one thing remains true -- that people need someone to love just as much or more than someone to hate. Right now I just do not want to hate enough to cause any mass shooting, lynching or any hatred towards any pyrrhia -- including the accused 'mentally ill'.
Heck, we have not even defined a 'healthy brain' let alone truly identify the meaning of the words 'mentally ill'. It is all so very crazy. There are different strokes for different ways -- different ways for different days. There is too much of a hazy maze in our justice system.
Once a year my family would go to my favorite restaurant when we lived near San Francisco, California. It was called -- "The House of Prime Rib". For me, every part of the menu was exquisite, as if I've never tasted such taste-worthy delight. Now, even if I ate there -- it would still taste worthy -- but at this time I choose my food in a more discretionary manner.
Now I prefer a 'Mediterranean Salad' with just a modicum of spicy pepperoni. Improvement? I don't know. At the least I am not eating plankton yet.

Introduction for Robert N. Franz
I am writing now because I believe that by serving you I may fill my own needs as well. Specifically, here I want to accomplish two things:
1) I would like you to read my book "The Stigma of the Mentally Ill: Bob Does Everything Backwards
By reading this work you may learn that I, like some other people, have been led down the wrong path in life concerning mental health and, in fact, can now choose a more healthy lifestyle where satisfaction can result by relating to others in better ways. In short, I was duped into not believing in myself and now with added confidence can act without the fear of having to "fit in" to society in an incongruous way. Yes, I can now comfortably be myself in the face of anyone!
By reading the book you may learn the pitfalls of what not to fall into, as well as, be summoned to gain the strength -- by seeing examples from my life -- to face your life with honesty and courage. It will be easier for you, the reader, to identify, work on your own shortcomings, and act with purpose when dealing with others. When this happens we all can work easier simply because all of us can have the same goals filled with honesty, forthrightness, and direct action. This begins the inception of teamwork -- something that can grow with time!
2) I would like you to support me as eventually becoming your Representative to the United States House. At this time I am certainly more of a representative than an administrator so certainly that much will fit.
I desire to 'level the playing field' for many in this state -- not to mention these United States -- by making more options available for life choices, by helping create jobs & making education available to more people, and by helping the middle class. The key for me is to promote more productivity in our society. Productivity that would raise the GDP, add to our incomes and create a tax base to fund more programs which would level the playing field. To do this we would have to create slow but sustainable growth in the economy -- much like is now being accomplished in the British economy right now -- as well as maintain solid industry in the U.S. To do this we would need the cooperation of many -- we would need teamwork! This is just what we need over time. More will come with time as more must be revealed!
Please consider what I have written here and make comments to me when it is possible and when you are ready.
To my good friends I say Godspeed and Best Wishes,
Sincerely,
Robert N. Franz

Are the Candidates Accurate?: What is a President?
A President is not a popular boss, a messenger, nor even royalty to the people. A President is a delegate, or if you will, a deputy who must represent ALL of the electorate. There are elements of both a representative and an administrator in this leadership position. Let's look further:
This season every candidate has missed the mark. None have described what the job entails. None of them have told us whether they are a representative or an administrator and even more importantly just what combination of these entities would apply to their presidency.
A representative or senator is an agent to the people and in this way basically differs from a governor, administrator, or Chief Executive Office (CEO). The managers -- like a governor or CEO -- dispense relief and justice. They carry out tasks and take action on and about their organizations. In government their functions are defined by the constitution as these managers take a different path to leadership than those who begin as a representative.
Legislative representatives (including senators) vote on and enact laws. They also serve as advisers to the administration. The Vice-President's office is the chair -- or leader -- who presides above the senatorial law making body as the presidential office heads the executive branch of the government. As a rule when the President represents all of the people he/she is loyal to not only the constitution but the constituents as well. In many ways the President acts both as a representative and an executive. The road to the office can travel a variety of paths -- representation should at least be part of it.
Legislative bodies made up of representatives voted in by the electorate pass laws which enact or repeal policy. These bodies, and the President together serve and represent the people. With a diverse public it can be difficult to agree on the passing of many different laws. Representatives need to learn how to work together. Not only should one stand for their electorate but they need to know and find similarities with a variety of other legislators.
Should I ever be elected as a representative I would represent a constituency and then go further to represent certain other vulnerable people in our society. It is certain that some people need a level "playing field". My goal would be to provide an honest change so that all of us could be productive and many more would be effective. The election would therefore be for more than just a few.
Should a billionaire be elected -- the government would be run more like a corporation. In this case the billionaire would be less likely to represent ALL of the people and decisions would be made primarily for the benefit of the organized 'company'. There is some question as to how much the people would be represented.
Although there are elements of the representative and the administrator in all candidates seeking public office -- it is good to know about the personality and motives of each candidate. Personality can determine the qualities shown in the elected officer and especially to which one's actions would default.
Basically, are we voting for a representative or an administrator? Which would be better for the specific elected office we are voting for? The results are determined in the reasons we vote. We need to know why we vote the way we do. It makes a big difference.

My Alter Ego's Lament: "Snoopy's" Discussion
My depression has always lurked in the deep dark disturbing days of December. My book The Stigma of the Mentally Ill: Bob Does Everything Backwards
[see book link at end of this essay] shows tendencies toward tries where trials are tested. This year I have matured into some changes. Answers had to be found.
I 'lighted' these days with sensual live music. All alone I attended the 'Candlelight Vesper's' -- a service by the choir of the Church of the Holy Child with the Mastersingers of Archmere Academy directed by David Ifcovits. It was beautiful lofty music with strains that arched in the rafters. Alone again -- two nights later -- I attended the Christmas portion of the 'Messiah' by G.F. Handel with other Christmas favorites at Concord Presbyterian Church in Wilmington Delaware. Matthew Pressley directed this classic performance. Beautiful again this time was more classical. It is possible for one to be satisfied with simple pleasures and therefore not be depressed. Expecting a magnitude of joy does not do as well in the winter as searching and claiming simple point to point high spots. Interest helps.
During this dark season my wife Leslie and I visited Longwood Gardens to enjoy the lights and the plants in their botanical beds. The ambiance down to each fragrance struck us as we visited each room in the conservatory. At one point we enjoyed backdrop music at a water fountain display. At another we sang Christmas carols accompanied by an organist playing a huge pipe organ in the parlor. Like a virgin I absorbed all of these experiences into my mind. Sometimes my eyes welled up and other times I smiled. In winter -- the starkness of the season is accented by the pruning efforts of late fall. I have to accept all of my emotions.
My solution to any difficult feeling or emotion comes when I make the choice to trust myself. Despite my feelings -- I still must trust myself. Even a roller coaster has the continuity of the track -- go through with the feelings -- follow them to the next one -- do not be afraid of yourself. Trust peace.
First however, I have to accept the fact that I am solely responsible for my choice of emotions. Then I must take action based on thoughts & feelings which is brave enough to make an honest expression. On many occasions just by taking a positive action one can also change emotions. All of this applies to me the individual and does not depend on the others around me.
I choose to be the active, playful, leading, and healthy Snoopy instead of the unsure, naively optimistic, and dependent Charlie Brown. If I am responsible for my feelings the code I live by is working and I am not an emotional slave in dependence.
What we have is today -- and that is all we can live with. I do not have to adapt to the acceptance of what will come next spring and summer. We do not know the future, but must live to the fullest today. Live! Act!! Be Healthy!!

To Love the Unlovable
Simply put, many like to see self promoters fail. They enjoy seeing someone take first place only to fall from grace and come in last. Naysayers enjoy this -- no matter what the circumstances -- and often "team-up" to fail someone when they can. Being 'part of something' never comes to mind -- only attaining first place and 'lording' over others is valued. I feel that some may be gleeful if The Stigma of the Mentally Ill: Bob Does Everything Backwards fails.
Nonetheless, check it out at: amzn.to/1R1Oayq today.
That is where I get off -- that is where I show that I am not putting myself first -- whether it be onstage in a small family or in a large forum as from a public book publication. Specifically I want the reader to know that I use my life examples to help others in their vulnerability. Primarily, this is the reason I began writing for others.
Sure, I use the noun "I" a lot. I talk about MY life, MY experiences & beliefs, and MY will. But in reality there are others who end up taking first place.
In my mind it should be the vulnerable who come first -- any vulnerable. I write for those who cannot take a voice -- or have a voice.
It is the sick & ill, the victims, the maligned, the mistreated, the raped, the deformed, the weak, the poor, the hated, the sad & depressed, and the meek who I want to help.
Those who are ugly in any way -- those whose opinions are drowned out -- those who are criticized and hated, and even those who are just not popular or liked by the mainstream top feeders end up unjustly shamed in our world entirely too much. I want this turned around completely. A new order must come.
It is those who demand inordinately to be above others that not only will I take the other side -- but I mean to ruin as well. In truth, I only want to make the playing field even. I am like the black knight in a chess match who takes the white bishop. A sacrifice may be needed to make a game fair. Yet even though this is true -- we must also realize that sometimes we are dealing with an enormity of lives where 'fairness' cannot be the issue, but where justice and learning may play larger roles.
My once pretty face is now ugly from the inside. Like others, there is (at the least) original sin. I do not care if I offend the mainstream -- your popular face is just not worth it anymore. Get out of my life. Wait for your real game.
We must now love the unlovable -- believe the untenable -- prune our ways, and build a new order to enjoy true growth in our lives.
Godspeed to an equitable equality. If we are going to be equal -- then you are going to have to pull your own weight. Let's please get to it -- Now.
Thank you,
Robert N. Franz

Learning from Suggestions & Caring for Luck
From the sublime to the comprehensible.
A list of 'remembrances' was brought to my attention as I have tried to promote my writings. Specifically, a friend has made me aware of the "do's and don't's -- plus tips" by Ms. Liz DeJesus as shown in her "Technology and Social Media for Writers" presentation.
Someone needs to teach my generation quickly learned computer skills.
Deep inside I know that I can lead effectively but I realize that 'keeping it simple' is necessary as well. How can I reply to comments from readers when I cannot even see their comments? Are the communication skills learned always accurate and true? Who and what determines the part of my work which will be shown? What do YOU want to see? What is the best medium I can respond with?
Let's look at the "Don't's" first. For a long while I had been 'Book Shaming' -- just posting links to my work. For me, the Internet was a vast public billboard and once something was posted -- people should read and react to my work. How silly my thoughts were! No one will care unless the written word is put directly in front of them as well as be explained again and again. All I was doing was this -- 'please click onto my book link: amzn.to/1R1Oayq' and consider purchasing The Stigma of the Mentally Ill: Bob Does Everything Backwards
"Gee, wouldn't you like to see it?"
Furthermore, although it would be nice to hear from complete strangers -- it becomes most beneficial to receive honest comments from those who know one well. That is where the truth lies. My object is to make connections and then pave new roads. Since the truth must be told, my friends must judge my book first. There should be no more of posting blindly into cyberspace.
Finally on the "Don't" side I personally must convince you that politics is religion and that religion is politics. Unfortunately in my writings talking about these issues is not taboo -- it's what I do. Taking the high road it is hoped that readers will see a broad view -- a panorama -- and have an open mind. I try to explain concepts like how creation can be in evolution and how evolution can be in creation. Please, with the simplicity of a school child -- just ask how this could work. Answers would surprise you.
Also, we should notice other realities such as the fact that there have been dictators who have really cared about the people in their countries. Just one in the 20th century was Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia. Even though he was a staunch dictator, the people were cared for and Yugoslavia was a firm ally. Not every country may be ready for democracy -- why should the issue always be pushed? Who must always say that 'our way' is the 'best way'?
Our fault then is not in choosing a Democrat or a Republican -- our fault therefore is choosing leaders who do not care for or represent ALL of our people. So if I criticize leaders please consider that it is the common good which is looked for -- and not undue dislike for those who seem indifferent.
Ms. Liz DeJesus: You have given me a reason to explain my case and I thank you for that opportunity. From your words I know I need help -- we all do.
As I add to the words Frank Sinatra sings, 'Milady Liz':"Luck be a lady!" How fortunate we are, for with a little more caring the world can really be tolerable.
Now for the simple "Do's":
Why do the presidential candidates never take public suggestions? Simply because they feel that instead of being 'refreshing' they think they are appearing 'weak' when listening to someone else. There is no consideration or deliberation with them -- only the idea that a "leader" must always have the answers. How silly! Even children know that there are times when everyone needs to ask for help.
Do we always have to make others be like 'Tanto' on the "Lone Ranger" by always saying, "Yes, 'Kimosabe',"to us? Let us do better than that. No longer can our presidents end up like lone rangers. Elect somebody with true humility -- its the only way to an honest future for the U.S.A.
Cheers!!
Sincerely,
Robert N. Franz

That is where the truth lies. My object is to make connections and then pave new roads. Since the truth must be told, my friends must judge my book first. There should be no more of posting blindly into cyberspace.
Finally on the "Don't" side I personally must convince you that politics is religion and that religion is politics. Unfortunately in my writings talking about these issues is not taboo -- it's what I do. Taking the high road it is hoped that readers will see a broad view -- a panorama -- and have an open mind. I try to explain concepts like how creation can be in evolution and how evolution can be in creation. Please, with the simplicity of a school child -- just ask how this could work. Answers would surprise you.
Also, we should notice other realities such as the fact that there have been dictators who have really cared about the people in their countries. Just one in the 20th century was Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia. Even though he was a staunch dictator, the people were cared for and Yugoslavia was a firm ally. Not every country may be ready for democracy -- why should the issue always be pushed? Who must always say that 'our way' is the 'best way'?
Our fault then is not in choosing a Democrat or a Republican -- our fault therefore is choosing leaders who do not care for or represent ALL of our people. So if I criticize leaders please consider that it is the common good which is looked for -- and not undue dislike for those who seem indifferent.
Ms. Liz DeJesus: You have given me a reason to explain my case and I thank you for that opportunity. From your words I know I need help -- we all do.
As I add to the words Frank Sinatra sings, 'Milady Liz':"Luck be a lady!" How fortunate we are, for with a little more caring the world can really be tolerable.
Now for the simple "Do's":
Why do the presidential candidates never take public suggestions? Simply because they feel that instead of being 'refreshing' they think they are appearing 'weak' when listening to someone else. There is no consideration or deliberation with them -- only the idea that a "leader" must always have the answers. How silly! Even children know that there are times when everyone needs to ask for help.
Do we always have to make others be like 'Tanto' on the "Lone Ranger" by always saying, "Yes, 'Kimosabe',"to us? Let us do better than that. No longer can our presidents end up like lone rangers. Elect somebody with true humility -- its the only way to an honest future for the U.S.A.
Cheers!!

In Thanks for a Rest
Anger and Pakistani girls notwithstanding, it is now time to sit back and wait. My object has been to receive reviews -- now it is time for me to rest. As of yet I have basically heard nothing from anyone who has read my book -- The Stigma of the Mentally Ill: Bob Does Everything Backwards
. I have only thus far read faces and listened to the tone of voices to try to glean approval.
Oh Yes! I did hear something from people who are described in my book as characters, but they do not count because we are too close in investment. And also -- a woman named 'Mary'[not a relative] told me that I was getting 'rave reviews', something I find difficult in my disbelief, even denying all of the good work I put in to the writing. Other than that I have basically heard nothing about the print version of "The Stigma...". I wait now only in anticipation and with 'baited breath'.
It will be important to hear from people who have actually read my written words from the book and not just excerpts.
We have sold and distributed 275 books thus far. They are not electronic -- they are a print version which is different from any e-type book which I had previously written. Awaiting reviews must be the next step -- I need patience.
From the heads of state government to regional medical, religious, and education leaders the book has been delivered. We have given it to police & housewives -- teachers & hairdressers -- poets & managers. Hip, Kool, modern & conservative people got it also.
My method is the old-fashioned way of 'hitting the street', 'pounding the pavement' and NOT doing it electronically. The work has been shared in almost a survey method. This is the way books used to be distributed -- by 'word of mouth', which only proves that this work will be worthy of it's name -- "literary-nonfiction".
It is time for your opinion; it is time for others to tell me about the relevance in the writing. I must rest and take a vacation. The results are not up to me. My love has been shown by the writing and for the reader. You may find my work at -- amzn.to/1R1Oayq. Please read it when you are able.
Thank you for your patience, tolerance and caring. These qualities come appreciated. But now I must stop. God, let me escape. Peace to all.
Sincerely,
Robert N. Franz

Quit Trying to Fool Me -- "Guys" [or 'Feds' rather]
[The following letter was written at the end of July in 2015. Since that time I have noticed a greater police sensitivity when the media reports on curbing violent activity in dealing with the criminally insane. I am saying that now there may be more police training on how to handle violence from insane people. This is not to say that all shootings have diminished -- but that as reported there seems to be less killing of mentally ill persons.] Here shown is the letter:
To the 'Sheriffs' of the World:
I had first written an eBook on Mental Illness -- Bob Does Everything Backwards: Writing Out of an Illness
and you have tried to test me if I would be violent -- or even 'jihad' violent. GIVE ME A BREAK WILL YOU!?
You sent me a Pakistani girl via the Internet to see if I would fall for 'Taliban jihad' stuff. You thought you were tempting me. You made me talk about violence and ask why people shoot up others in schools, churches, playgrounds, movie theaters and public places. Why do you do this? How long are you going to be tempting the very ones that need help? Someone should make YOU the example.
I'll tell you why these things happen. Your whole system is based on isolation. Isolation is the first step towards stigmatization which happens over & over in our society. Certainly I am not impressed with cops, feds, society or anyone else who is bias towards those with social needs. These are the tendencies and even tactics which you use to probe "unstable" people who, in fact, just need to grow and learn. Why do you make people move towards the bad? Where is your compassion?
At least I've got a strong backbone to put up with your crap. Others not so strong buckle and lose their lives -- or buckle in other ways and pick up weapons like guns. Then where are you? Yes you are saying "Tsk,Tsk -- poor souls" or much worse you jump into your 'rescue fantasies' and with uniforms become nothing more than vigilantes.
I am sick of how business and justice are 'accomplished' in this country. All you do is act to isolate then wait until the stigmatized person acts out only to be arrested or shot. When you have waited long enough your 'rescue fantasy' will be too late as well. Then you will hear your own "Wailing", and then will all of us hear those always failing words,"It was unfortunate, but...."
Okay let's all calm down -- I will too!
Look, I have written a book about mental illness. It says a lot -- it reads well. Why are you so afraid of telling me that I write clearly and well? This book needs to be read by many. Here is the title: Robert N. Franz"The Stigma of the Mentally Ill". You need to buy it and review it as I need reviews. I get sick of your empty promises and "to-reads" which I see too often on Goodreads.com. I now have added the book to this blog post. The Stigma of the Mentally Ill: Bob Does Everything Backwards
Finally, I am able to show you the reader my title and cover. I am relieved that once again this work can be considered as highly readable nonfiction. Thank you.
Perhaps I get too involved in the emotion of the argument. Perhaps I feel strongly that leading the vulnerable and unstable to commit crimes is so very unjust. Actually, I only hope that people will learn a better way before making a personal dramatic permanent blunder -- costing a life when such lives do not have to be lost.
I am bound and determined to continue onward. If I have to I'll talk to everyone I may meet and sell each a copy of my book "mano a mano".
Who am I fighting? Those who do not want to see vulnerable people get their due chances.
So much could be accomplished in this country if only we could accept everybody -- have all of us take on decent roles -- and act in the public's interest. Let's get to it. Here is the link to obtain my book -- amzn.to/1R1Oayq. Please go to it!!
[On May 3, 2016 I witnessed KYW CBS 11:00 News, Philadelphia, PA report on the new training that the Philadelphia police were implementing which dealt with high stress situations. Not only were police body cameras used but actual scenarios were played out and rehearsed. This all was done to save the lives of everyone! You cannot ask for a better response from those who desire to truly keep the peace!!]
Sincerely yours,
Robert N. Franz

'Bush Beans' Cause Gas Pain
My objection to another Bush presidency is that as far as the hurricane 'Katrina' went -- "as Rome burned" -- George W. was simply another "Nero who watched Rome [New Orleans] burn as he 'fiddled'", and did absolutely nothing to help.
We need guardians & security guards who know CPR and of filling emergency needs -- who can live in the 'infrastructure' -- and who can help others in time of need. We need to help train people for the benefit of society.
Just as Boy Scouts -- the people of America need to "Be Prepared". We need to be as hermit crabs who have the ability to travel to different shells to make an abode. We need to be as beavers who can make a home out of sticks and mud -- honeybees who can make food for the hive. We need to be as coyotes who are successful in a variety of habitats, and 'service dogs' who are tirelessly loyal to their handlers.
Don't the Marines or S.E.A.L. Team 6 already do this? Why do we not have 'home grown helpers' for those who live and/or work here in our country? Can we not teach our young of the desire AND the ability to help others when the opportunity comes? Check out my book -- amzn.to/1R1Oayq as it comes to you.
In the U.S. we can summon the courage, abilities, and willingness to provide emergency aid for our neighbors. So let's go do it! -- NOW!! The Stigma of the Mentally Ill: Bob Does Everything Backwards
How many times does something have to happen before we are to learn? Will we not lighten the burden of others in man-made or natural disasters? I know that deep inside we would if we could. It is time to learn how we can really help others. First, it is time to truly listen as to what to do when someone "loses all" and we have to take the next needed steps. Just what to do next is the big question.
So, are we to benefit by having another Bush in the White House when the first one lied by saying "Read my lips -- No new taxes"-- and the second pat his F.E.M.A. Director on the butt by saying "That's okay, 'Shorty', don't worry, you're doing a great job," as New Orleans sat waterlogged and the president would not visit the city in it's time of need? No thanks -- not in my lifetime. We need and demand a better response -- we need a leader who will provide the wear-with-all to show America how to care for it's needs -- both natural and man-made.
Sincerely yours,
Robert N. Franz

Considering the Newly Formed Annihilist
I want to look from the perspective of the fearful, angry person who feels so utterly isolated and full of hate that he causes a tragic atrocity. What makes one a lone and violent annihilist? How can we all get along better? What is 'your' logic? For an answer we need to 'dream big' and decide where the discussion begins.
We have to see where the individual's fear comes from. Yes, I say fear -- for it is the anger that comes from the fear which brings on the violence. Basic motives in the annihilist come from the feeling that he is going to lose -- or is about to lose -- something that he feels he desperately needs. These security issues would affect his emotional state, but also can push him to the limit through any other effect of bankruptcy which could befall him.
On the outside we fight for race, religion, political and sexual issues, money, ownership of instincts and goods, and national concerns. Our 'powers to be' can be judged by our goods all the way to our basic food & water and dwelling spaces. Although a healthy person may substitute or sublimate emotions, not everyone is able to do this -- as some resort to hatred.
Personal issues become critical -- and the loners fear even to openly talk with others. The annihilist becomes broken and his strong instincts take hold. By not being taught well, his personal disciplines for care suffer. It is as though his hate is fermenting.
We need to diffuse these tendencies as we look about and see others who are isolating. We need to reach out, communicate and teach in a new way.
Specifically: (1) Discipline (2) Values & (3) Respect for others need to be brought and taught to all. Love, and the morals even from teachings like the "Ten Commandments" make all people learn that though unattractive at times -- discipline can be learned and worked at so that each individual can have a decent part in a society of our fellows. Children have to learn this at an early age. Preschool?
Values then have to grow in all of us. Should we look at something like the "Seven Deadly Sins" (pride, avarice, lust, greed, gluttony, anger & sloth) we can track our motives and become seekers of virtues -- instead of slaves to instincts. Children need to be encouraged to look at virtues as something to aspire towards as communication for all should continue. Activities? Sports?
Respect for others is approached as the ways and means of those persons of other cultures are appreciated. We must know that to accept others -- different from ourselves -- can be learned without compromise and without loss to any of our own integrity. By teaching tolerance, patience will then follow. Sometimes in today's America we have just tried to "Get Ahead" at any cost. This causes strife to say the least. Some qualities just subvert our developmental natures and we all need to have the opportunity to grow in peace. Where does one learn sportsmanship?
For those who cannot or will not learn or conform to these views it will be necessary to supervise their lives. Just to unleash immature young adults onto society does no one any service. I recommend an 'Ameri-Corps' Program for drifting 18 - 24 year-olds in our country. Not only could the young adults give back to the States, but there could be a cooperative practice and action for work to be accomplished in our nation. Can '4C' camps be better than prison?
All of us are here to have a good part in society and not to demolish what has been solidly built in our country. Both water mains and bridges need fixed. Infrastructure needs repair. Our minds & bodies are ready. Hearts need a new resolve.
What makes the annihilist so dangerous is not so much that he is a strong bully -- but that he has easy access to, and willingness to use violent weapons. Members of the public could stop this violence by gently, cautiously, reaching out to him, before any action on his part would take place. In particular, by also limiting the acquisition of these weapons the atrocities could not occur at all.
If blame is to be had at all it is that we do not reach out to others on a daily basis. Just as we have to be reminded to check on our children and senior citizens in cold or hot weather, so to do we need to be reminded to check on our loners. Just a cursory assessment on each person's emotional condition or 'mind set' could come about with one smiling greeting. Really -- "How are you?" one could ask in a sincere, friendly manner. I see no harm in making this a more sociable, smaller world -- but I do realize that the smiling greeting has to take place days before, and not on the day of his 'mind set' to kill.
Let's begin by looking out after each other. Click onto this link, please: amzn.to/1R1Oayq. Perhaps we can save some lives. The Stigma of the Mentally Ill: Bob Does Everything Backwards
Please bring peace.
Yours Sincerely,
