When
you have a cow that is always attacking the herd or causing other
problems you cut it from the herd and turn it into freezer beef.
When
you have a chicken who is always attacking the rest of the flock you
invite it in for dinner.
When
a dog or cat attacks and bites other dogs and cats or worse yet
people you have it put to sleep.
It's
not an automatic response though. Normally you try your best to
correct the behavior first.
It's
no different for people.
When
someone or some animal commits crimes against the society they live
in we take them from that society by locking them up. We try and
offer ways towards correcting whatever it is they do which brings
that society down or hurts it.
If
that doesn't work we either lock them away from society for the
remainder of their life or we bring their life to an early end.
There
are times too when whatever they have done is so detrimental to
society that we skip the trying to correct them.
Why
some creatures or humans go bad is a question that may never be
answered. There could be many partial answers. Each may have a
different reason. A different set of circumstances that brought them
to where they are or how they think.
But
we can't allow them to go on doing more damage to society.
With
the outbreak of murders that make no sense and the rash of masses of
people being murdered by people who seem to have lost their mind, my
heart is breaking.
I'm
being saddened by this so much it makes my personal problems seem
like absolutely nothing.
Then
I hear someone say “it's none of my business so I don't let it
bother me.”
Uhh,
excuse me. None of your business...
Don't
we all live in this society? Are we all not a part of this society?
It's
the business of each and every one of us! We all make up the society
we live in around this entire globe. What goes on while we are here
is the business of all of us.
Perhaps
if all of us quit saying it's none of our business we could begin to
make a change for the better.
When
we see someone being bullied it's our society that's being bullied.
That makes it our business. When we see a woman being abused it's
abusing our society. That makes it our business. When we see a child
being abused or even taught bad things it's happening to our society.
That makes it our business. When we hear of a inhumane leader in a
far off country doing wrong to his people it's doing wrong to our
society. That makes even that our business.
When
we say it's none of our business we are saying it's alright for our
society to be brought down. What happens anywhere in our world is our
business and we should make it our business to attempt to correct the
situation.
Just
my thoughts...
