WE HAVE ENTERED A NEW AGE

   Hard facts in hard times seem to captivate the public's attention more loud and clear than in our past of ignorant bliss, and more limited accountability.

Throughout history, whenever any grand scale atrocities disturb humanity out of our comfort zones, instantly two questions arise: Why, and How does something so horrific happen? We question Cause and Effect. We search outside of ourselves. Never do we question our own accountability, or if we ourselves may have any link to contributing factors.

Near as instantly, we often come to another core thought..... religious doctrines and theories come to mind. We divert the blame away from humanity, and our own accountability and search for some ethical solace in the Creator's infinite wisdom, which lies well beyond the scope of human analytical reasoning.

Many will stand firm, and argue that God's intentions are never evil, that in truth our world is reflective of a higher and deeper cosmos, where forces of good and evil continue to struggle, until that professed moment in time Christians call; Armageddon.

In any case, our limited reasoning becomes the effective reaction as we see and hear throughout the media, and read through mountains of global publications, that which can shock us deep within our intellectual core.

We are trying to understand and create solutions now against genocide, wars, natural disasters, and global terrorism, our leaders are scrambling to prevent more suffering and future catastrophes with political and military safety nets.

Indeed, "Safety and Security" is now overshadowing all faiths within humanity. Mankind has reached a point of arrogance and desperation, where the sanctity of  family, faith, freedom, and civil liberties are all under scrutiny and attack in the name of national safety and security.

Our "peacekeepers" are militarizing. Fear is on the rise, not because of the outer evils, but because of mankind's inner "fright and flight" reactions and actions that are destabilizing sincere peaceful efforts and causes.
