As we know, one definition of insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. I won’t bother to list the number and quantity and frequency of mass shootings in the US but I will simply say it’s more than one per day and it mustn’t go on. But it does. And it will. Because we are politically and morally paralyzed.

You can’t really legislate mental health and upbringing. These are generational things that require raising proper human beings in a sane world with love and respect. Once raised improperly, it’s too late. Raise enough improperly and you have a MAJOR problem on your hands.

I have always believed that to murder is to commit suicide. It doesn’t matter if you kill one or many, you are killing yourself too. One kills oneself to make the world and all its pain go away. Some people however are cowards, immoral and cruel and have developed such an ego or complex or been raised to harbor so much frustration and hatred that their suicide is contrived to take as many with them as they can as a little mini-god demon—controlling life and death. By far, most suicides do not take this heinous path but are self-murder only which is also awful in its current proportions. After all, what does it matter when you are killing yourself if you kill the whole world? Either way you get the same result for you—darkness. This is also why…
