Hi Andy -- I was watching your live stream on YouTube yesterday and I wanted to follow up on a question I had. Do you know of any organizations in Ukraine that are accepting children’s clothing donations?
Thanks for keeping the spotlight on the suffering Andy.
Such horrors inflicted on children and other innocents will continue to occur over and over again without end all over the planet until such time as we stop accepting this suffering. Those suffering today are but a tiny fraction of those who will suffer until we stop accepting the suffering. What does not accepting the suffering mean?
Not accepting all this preventable suffering means shifting our focus away from the day to day details of the latest headlines and towards the source of so many of these problems. Violent men.
Until we turn our attention to the primary source of all this suffering, we're embracing and accepting an ongoing pattern which if left untouched will continue to multiply the suffering that's happening today on in to the future, with no end in sight. The war in Ukraine will some day end, only to be replaced by some other orgy of violence. Generation after generation after generation of innocents will continue to experience what's happening today in Ukraine, until the day when violent men either crash this civilization, or maybe the entire species.
Consider the pandemic. We've identified the source of the infection, and are trying to remove it. Our response has been far from perfect, but at least we didn't declare ourselves impotent to address the source of the threat. Violent men are a virus that has infected the human race. We'll know that we care about the suffering children in Ukraine when we stop telling ourselves that there's nothing we can do about this infection.
But, but, what can we do?
This is the question we ask when we don't want to do anything. We'll sit on our hands waiting for someone to make a suggestion, and then we'll tell them why it won't work. And then we'll go back to accepting the suffering of innocents.
We'll know we're ready to leave that pattern of denial behind when we can clearly set as our goal ridding this planet of violent men. We don't know how yet, but that doesn't stop us from being determined to figure it out.
It's them or us folks. We get rid of the violent men, or they will get rid of us. Once that's understood, the solutions will start coming.
Imagine a 90%+ reduction in violence at every level of society. Imagine trillions of new dollars available for building a better world. Imagine world peace. We can have that, if we're willing to pay for it.
