   teach your children      

by Sean B

When I was younger and growing up...

it was the "norm" to hand a 12 year old boy a toy gun...

Likewise you were also encouraged to have a "GI-Joe" doll or several of them and play "War..."

It shouldn't be any surprise that we are a nation that rears war loving...violent if not blood-thirsty young men and adults...

teach your children...

******

If you teach your children to hate and that violence is good...

then it shouldn't be any wonder to anyone nor any surprise that our culture and society is filled with war-like attitudes...and actions...

teach your children.

what are you teaching your children...?

It seems that everyone wants peace...

but as a nation - here in America we are unwilling to or negate the fact that we dont speak of peace or non-violence...to our children..

If you teach your children to hate then you will have a culture and society filled with rage and hate and likewise pain and alienation...

is it any wonder that the "youth" of America taught through word and deed and action of instruction from the parents...is numb - spaced out, filled with division - self division and rage and hatred...?

teaching peace...

when you hand a child a toy gun what are you telling that child ?

when you act out your own violence onto your children what are you saying to them?

Dont be surprised that the world is filled with division and violence and pain...

if you indeed yourself have never faced your own pain or rage or fear...

If you pour drugs and alcohol and drama and denial onto your feelings and pain then you are teaching and showing your children to deny - vent and act-out rage and pain...

but noever wholly own it - resolve it and let it go...

***********

teach your children peace and the culture will become peaceful or know peace...

teach your  children denial and the culture will be become obsessed with pleasure at all costs..but there will be little peace among you...

teach your children to hate: and you will have adults filled with hate...

teach your children that violence solves problems and you will have violent adults...who inflict their violence onto themselves and others...

either by alcoholism or addictions or suicide or taking anothers life...

********

teach your children...

what your teach your children as a nation...

manifests as the entire - whole social "contract.."

if you want a peaceful world you will have to begin by teaching the children peace...

why is it that we go to films that depict characters...who maim and mutilate and murder

and oftentimes we laugh when there is a "simulated" slice and dice of a character in the film?

************

teach your children...

video games...

most adolescent video games demand a body count in order to "win" the game...

is it any wonder why we have adults who take lives randomly  ?

is it any wonder that our world is filled with confusion and pain ?

and rage and division...if not:

lies and deciet...?

teach your children to lie...?

if your children can not tell you the truth then you teach them to lie...

Does anyone truly have to wonder why the world is the way it is ?

when you teach peace...

to your children 

you will have peace...

when you teach elitism, division, dis-integration, denial of all feelings and yes that violence is encouraged...then you will have the world we have now...

if you want peace then speak of peace...

and find it within yourself and teach it to your children...

if you want your children to tell you the truth then find it within yourself and show it to them...

addiction...

it is intersting to watch the programs on cable about addiction...

there always seems to be two parents being interviewed and wondering why their child is acting out self - hatred onto themselves...

??

where did it come from ?

why is my child doing this ?

why are they commiting this self-suicide and destruction?

and yet you never hear of the parents taking responsibility for their own - alocholism or pain or rage...or emotional violence...

when you teach your children pain resolution and how to diffuse rage then we will become a nation of adults who know peace - 

inner peace...equals outer peace...

and it will manifest directly into all of our lives...as a result...

*******

it is no measure of mental health to be well--adjusted to a dysfunctional world...

please...

teach your children peace.

please teach your children peace...

teach them not to poison themselves...teach them how resolve all conflicts...internally and externally...

If youd like a peaceful world and a loving world then please teach your children love and peace...

but 

dont ever wonder why the world is the way it is...

the adults of this world were taught to hate..

taught to hate themselves...

taught denial of anger...

taught that violnece is good...

taught that rage makes you powerful and important...

if you want healthy adults you need to raise healthy children...

mentally

spiritually and physically...and emotionally...

if you want to have a peaceful world then please teach peace...

please.

teach your children peace...

peace happens.

miracles happen.

sobriety and sanity happens...

learn peace and loving-kindess...

and yes the world will be a comfortable place...for all.

own - accept and let go of your resentments and rage...they neither make you powerful nor important...

they simply poison you...

hate.

violence. Pain Denied...

rage...

war.

release and let go...

resolve and heal...

replace and restore...

teach peace and you will know peace...
