They're Killing Us!!

I don’t have a degree in anything. But I pay attention, and I bet there are people, professional and otherwise, that know all about the connection between emotional and intellectual nurturing of a child, and mental/social/behavioral disorders in the general population.

But no one has the guts to say out loud, that we have to raise children properly if we want them to function well.

“Studies on children in a variety of settings show conclusively that ... deprivation or neglect disrupts the ways in which children's brains develop and process information, thereby increasing the risk for attentional, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral disorders.”

You know where I’m going with this.... angry scarred people are mowing us down en masse, in cities all over the world, because they didn’t get enough attention growing up. Not enough guidance was provided to them. And there simply was not enough love.

They are killing people because they are trying to get someone's attention. They want someone to prove to them that they matter in the scheme of things. They desperately want someone to come along and fix all their issues.

Whether they know it or not.

Same with suicide. People try to commit suicide because they are trying to get someone's attention. They need something that they aren’t getting from someone.

Suicide is a cry for help. Mass murder is a cry for help.

I know it seems like a big job. But it isn’t THAT big of a job.

We just have to care more.

I mean of course, first we have to acknowledge, that the solution IS there, and the science backs it up.

The fact that we let children grow up without proper nurturing and attention is back to haunt us. We need to raise people who understand that as a society we love and care for them and each other.

Those children with that upbringing, are not the people that are shooting us.

MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE A NATIONAL PHONE SERVICE FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE THINKING OF COMMITTING MASS MURDER..!
