Mean Spirited

As every one has seen, numerous people have made threats to infect other people with the COVID-19 virus while shopping and on social media. A young lady has been arrested and charged with making a terrorist threat and another was knocked to the ground by a department manager after he apparently spit on some produce. That was a lesson learned the hard way for the alleged spitter.

What is it that makes an individual consider this to be acceptable behavior or funny? The standard answer given is “I was just joking.” Some joke. Many people wondered if they had come in contact with the young lady and certainly some folks threw out produce they purchased just to be on the safe side. Again, why?

The reason is darker than a bad joke, the real reason is a darkness of one’s spirit. These ‘jokers’ get pleasure inducing fear in others and others just enjoy violating social norms such licking ice cream and returning it to the store freezer or spitting into bottles of soft drinks and placing them back on the shelf. Sadly, human nature has degraded to the level where some find pleasure and satisfaction from acts such as these.

There is only one solution, return to a moral, Godly world view and how each person fits into society. The U.S. Supreme Court kicked God out of schools and the public arena long ago. It’s time to return Him to the throne to which He is entitled.
