The Thing about Violence and Hate (Devaluing Children in Society)

Violence and hate are a growing trend. People and groups engaged in hate targeting has become increasingly common because we haven't developed mechanisms to deal with it as everything is politicized. People bent on violence are hard to reason with and there seems to be some support among different peoples as to the acceptance of violence. 

Targeting children, targeting people in our community, and general dishonest mayhem have become part of us and in many cases acceptable (Depending on who the targets are.). The development of solutions is slow and when good solutions seem to be forming there is lack of desire to act because of social, political, and other pressures.

It creates scenarios where such behaviors are repeated over and over because of failed accountability and no theoretical methods of intercession. We have lost our sense of community and the willingness to stand for basic values. The way and the will should come together.

Rules apply differently to different peoples. There is no reason for children to get hurt and anything that encourages or causes that should be changed. The protection of children is fundamental to our lives and to our society. Without that...we will eventually lose our society (eaten from the inside).

I've seen children be targeted, lied to, and families get on the hate target list. The group responsible feels no remorse, continues to spread false information, and is unable to respect the values of people in their community that they have been told "they can't like".  It only takes one hate supporter to change the scenario.

Let us stop pretending that we have all of the answers. Doing more than politically arguing and looking in the other direction is necessary for resolution. It makes no difference what the children's parents say, what I say, what anyone says because we are missing the moral conscious and fortitude to chart a new course. I don't believe we can any longer tolerate hate. 

The question is, "What do we do now?"

The Meaning of A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost

A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost He halted in the wind, and — what was that Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m
