Desperate people will do things that seem foolish to us, but wise to them.
They must have needed a pen, a lamp, or whatever else they took.
Maybe they thought they were at war with society. Their lives might have been far more tragic and difficult than you realize, and they might view everyone around them as a potential enemy.
The only thing I can recommend is more compassion.
More compassion, until the world is better.
Never stop. Never feel hatred or disgust or contempt for other humans.
Only compassion and empathy.
while I agree with you in general principle ,I struggle with that .When I watch some of the videos of police brutality ,them beating and shooting people,my blood boils! when I see injustice and corruption so blatant displayed with no thought or care because they know that there is no one to stop them or that will prosecute them.
I no hate and violence are not the answer! I know we are being intentionally Triggered ,to cause civil response so they can use more force!
The right to remain silent but not the ability or self control... lol.
namaste!
What do you think the answer is?
Peaceful discussion with people who find it ok to brutally murder people or enslave them? Maybe that'll fix it.
Please do not get me wrong.
I respect and agree that with what you are saying.
but how do you manage an animal that has Rabies?
and what do you do with know murders and psychopaths? How do you treat them with love and respect?
and why do we consider it humane to put rabid animals and animals such as horse's down if they break a leg?
...Killing in the name of love? Sometimes we are faced with tuff decisions.
I have seen the results of not doing the right(?) thing with a horse.... years of misery for the poor horse! and have seen the locals fish & game , ranchers,and farmers hunt down rabid Animals...
I would love to believe that we could talk and love the changes into effect, but I suspect we are going to have to use more aggressive means.
I have never been bitten by a rabid animal,but I know people who have, and the treatment is not (or was not)fun! 4-5 shots, weeks of pain.
Here's to finding a way! :-)
namaste!
