RESURRECTION REFLECTIONS
When evil dominates the airwaves and violence the news, when greed and acquisitiveness are virtuous, and personal moral responsibility is optional, when injustice sits in legal judgment and lying is a way of life, it is small wonder that two million Americans sit in prison and gun sales and gunfire mortality surges.
Guns have context. Evil, violence, vanity, greed, immorality, injustice, and lying afford ideal contexts for the corrosion occasioned by guns.
Diminution in the dimensions of the causative contexts may improve the cultural occlusions between our claimed cultural values and actual deeds, governmentally, personally.
What is true for guns is likewise true for poverty and homelessness. The same contexts that produced the one, guns, induced the other one , poverty. They are conjoined.
A similar dimensional diminution in the one will likewise work a reduction in the other one. What is at stake, then, are simply humane values spread abroad. Small acts committed by a few might contagiously inspire other such acts. In time, like wicked contagions, these redeeming viral values might attract many by virtue of the inverse cosmological forces.
You can be a part of this resurgent cosmological force for good, just by doing that which is right, loving, & kind. No clubs to join. No secret oaths or membership dues. No special attire or training or codes are needed. Just naturally you being the best of you; instinctively doing unto others, as you would have them to do unto you, loving.RESURRECTION REFLECTIONS
