I WAS SO UPSET – ok

I was so upset after seeing the movie, THE BOY IN THE STRPIED PAJAMAS. I was upset because I realize that people never learn. They probably don’t want to. Why are we so stupid that we keep making the same mistakes? Why are so many of us filled with hatred and prejudice? Why can’t we learn from the past? We would get so much further? For example, in math, if we didn’t build on the basics we would get nowhere. I think it’s the same with society. We should learn that we are all humans and LIVE and LET LIVE?

Why don’t we learn from previous generations? Why can’t children learn from their parents? Why do people need to learn from their own mistakes? We would be so much further ahead if we learned from those with experience?

How could human beings do such horrible things to each other? Where is caring? Where is compassion? Where is tolerance and acceptance?

So many people are so greedy, selfish and STUPID!!!! They don’t know what’s important in life or what should be important?

What’s the difference if your hair is gray? if your nails are done? What’s the difference if your couch is blue and your walls are pink?

THINK!

BE KIND!

CARE!

People and especially children are more important than buying a new car etc. And if you work so hard to buy a new house make sure a family lives there. What good is the house if you are at work ALL DAY and your children are in daycare? Better live in a cave but be together.

Think back to your own childhood. What made it good and/or bad? Write an entry!!!!!!

Are you wasting your life collecting things? How about collecting LOVE?

I agree with you! And I do want to write an entry about what made my childhood good or bad. (It was mostly good!) So many houses nowadays are not really homes, because couples are busy acting like they hate each other (and won’t stay married for long) and like you said, no one is IN those big fancy houses all day long! The kids are away all day; the parents are away all day. And when people get home, they all spend their time isolated in different rooms, playing with their own peraonal computers or Nintendos or whatever. I think that most of us had better childhoods than most kids nowadays do, because there WAS someone home in our homes, and families were in the same room, not all shut up in their own rooms playing with electronic games. hugs, Weesprite

I think we learn a LITTLE bit and progress a LITTLE bit each generation. I sure wish the process could be sped up — otherwise it looks to me like the planet is doomed.

When I hear of the atrocities that humans are capable of performing on each other over slight differences, it makes me ashamed to be a member of the race.

The film got the message through and people will learn from it, hopefully. I agree with you on the modern family values. In the end there won’t be families left. Only computers talking to each other. It’s a comfort zone. We don’t change our comfort zones easily. Pity, really.

I’m just catching up on the past 5 days. I am so glad you are getting to spend time with your daughter. Please cherish that time:) I agree with all you said in this entry!

thats what makes us grow into ‘real’….learning! Its like any subject..not just ‘Life 101’…. if we keep doing it wrong we keep getting the same testing experiences until we do get it right. Thats why the world is in such turmoil. As I have said a thousand times… its about a changing mindset towards spiritual principles and the concept of ONENESS. Until that happens, we continue to learn the hard way. hugs P
