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.
