Social Consequences

Social Consequences

When intolerance

Is what rules throughout the land

Then everyone will suffer

Hate always breeds hate

Willful ignorance will kill

Culture and community

This is what I see happening all around us. Perhaps it has been happening all throughout human history. I wouldn't be surprised. What I want to know is why do we allow the history to repeat itself? Aren't we supposed to be growing and trying to get better than we are now? 

Education is important, yet we allow it to be cut.

We allow bullying in our society, as if it were normal. We accept it.

We allow our fellow people to be discriminated against because they don't agree with our specific myths. What's funny about that one is that the myths themselves tell us not to judge.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone...
