Freeing the Children … (07/27/13)

We are crucifying our children.

*We crucify our children when we teach them that hospitals & doctors & medicines are necessary for Health …

*We crucify our children when we teach them that war is necessary to ensure Peace …

*We crucify our children when we teach them that pleasure & comfort & wealth are necessary for Happiness …

*We crucify our children when we teach them that chemical sprays & genetic manipulations are necessary for Sustenance …

*We crucify our children when we teach them that animals are lesser beings; thoughtless things to be used or worn or eaten …

*We crucify our children when we teach them that might makes right; that guns make them safer; that punishing “criminals” is somehow just or fair …

*We crucify our children when we teach them that only our particular religion is correct; that God has a Love that is partial & a judgment that is condemnatory; that we need not go forth to actively be the change we wish to see — because God is someday coming to “make things right”.

We have crucified our children long enough, my Friends.

It is time we removed the nails of fear & hatred & ignorance from their palms & feet.

It is time we lowered them gently back into the arms of humility & acceptance …

It is time we taught them — with action more than word — the courage of selfless LOVE.
