There seems to be a common trend with these types of horrendous events. The shooter had many signs of a disturbed individual who needed psychological help before this event occurred. No one knows what is the breaking point as many kids go through bad situations and come out okay.
But the signs should always be taken seriously. Another common trend that doesn't justify the shooter's actions was they were bullied in school. Does that automatically assume a bullied child will harm others or harm themselves?
No, but it seems to trend that way and needs further investigation. Would cutting down on micro and macro aggressions lead to better mental health due to the fact that experiencing higher levels of microaggressions is linked to lower mental health.
Micro and macro aggressions will affect everyone eventually in life, but we must examine the foundation of morality and then promote such morality in our homes, schools, and government. Ultimately, we must ask what systems already in place worked great and what systems failed.
I have been taking a course on the rise and fall of Rome, and Polybius, who was a historian during the rise of Rome, wrote a book called “The Histories”. In it, he says one of the main reasons Rome so easily conquered the known world at the time in under 53 years was due to their constitution. The Greek word for a constitution was politeia which was more in-depth than how we understand the English word constitution. For them, the Constitution was about the laws and governance of government, but it also promoted the social and cultural way of life that united the Republic under a basic agreement on morality, education, and admiration or piety to the pantheon of gods and goddesses. Why does this info matter?
Because we as a nation have thrown off even the basics of morality for greed, power, and selfish desires, we may still have the laws but lost the piety that made the laws so revolutionary. That piety once united the nation but now divides the country, no longer one nation under the God and as our national motto quotes.
We point out what is evil but fail to understand we as a nation are grooming evil with destructive ideologies. Wake up and face reality, the reality of both nature and beast; we are, if left to our carnal nature, worse than the beasts of the wild. We have a soulish connection to the mind knowing what we do is right or wrong. The saving message of the gospel is the number one answer within the moral structure designed by God.
We secure our banks, military installations, houses, and politicians, but not our kids. If Biden cared about gun control, he would crack down on the border and crack down on crime.
We have a morality problem, but society is obviously not ready to address the foundational problem, so we are left trying to clean up the aftermath, a gaping wound, while trying to patch it with a band-aid.
If we will not address morality, then we are left to live in a world where we must make our schools look like prisons in order to keep out unwanted intruders.
If we do not take crime seriously, then expect human nature to take its wicked course more easily. The punishment must fit the crime, and in less of doubt, it should be acted out swiftly and not decades sitting in a prison cell. Innocent life matters, but be afraid for the sword of good government, which God designed to distinguish all bouts of evil.
Don't talk to me about sorrow if you support children being ripped apart in the womb. Don't talk about evil when your worldview has no God. Don't talk about justice while defending injustice.
