It hurts...... a reminder perhaps.

I truly believe those of us who travel in RV's have a special love for creation.
The mountains, the deserts, the rivers and seas all speak to us at a very deep level of our soul.
The people we meet along those travels just add icing to that cake.

With two events that unfolded yesterday made me pull over to the rest stop and take stock.

Not for a second can I fathom the hate of those who gunned down innocent people in Australia.....I don't want to even try.

And to see a man who produced two of my favorite movies, The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption, killed by his son, as he watch the rage kill his wife too...... surely he succumbed to a broken heart before the stab wounds, I would rather be blind my whole life than to have that be the very last vision I have on earth.....sad.

I can't speak for others, only myself, but I think this world is missing something and even AI won't be able to replicate it......love.

I will try harder to be a purveyor of it instead of anger and hate, a giver instead of a taker........ of goodness.

The holocaust survivor Lily Ebert who died last year at age 100 said, "The killing didn't start with the killing, it started with the words". A holocaust survivor was among the 15 murdered in Sydney.

Looking at history and all the conflicts many were more than just land grabs, it seems it was hate, and the energy to stop that hates expansion.
I think it would be a safe assessment to say such hate escapes the physiological components of our personhood, so where does it come from?

I understand how insecurities can lead to anger of someone based entirely on their need to not feel inferior, compromised or threatened, in who or what they stand for and believe, but hate of this nature seems much greater.
I can understand how some folks just can't understand or entertain a virgin birth, its beyond our 5 senses to grasp physically...... but maybe a better explanations of how and why things of this nature happen in our world is to look at the source of evil, and I think most of us can agree there might certainly appear to be such a power source that drives such evilness.

Man's basic needs start with physiological survival (food, water, shelter, sleep, air) and safety (security, order), moving up Maslow's hierarchy to love/belonging, esteem (respect, achievement), and ultimately self-actualization (reaching full potential), with specific emphasis for men often including respect, purpose in work, friendship, admiration, sexual fulfillment, and supportive companionship.

No where is hate mentioned in our most primitive nature.
