Another     Horrific    Tragedy:

We are all still stunned

As WE seek for

UNDERSTANDING

REASONS

THEORIES

SAFETY

HOPE

HEALING

Non-Violence  is  the  greatest  force  at  the  disposal  of  mankind.  It  is mightier  than  the  lightest  weapon  of  destruction  devised  by  the  ingenuity of  man–Mahatma Ghandi

T          R          U          E          L          Y

are we past  T H I S ?

Aside from totally being stunned by the sheer madness;

the utter devastation of at least  5 9  innocent people being massacred.       .       .

theres’s a Call to Arms.          .          .

And if there’s ONE TIME

that’s absolutely true.          .          .

IT  IS  NOW

after recent hurricanes and earthquakes

and now, THIS:

.          .          .But,

A            C A L L            T O            A R M S ?

A B S O L U T E L Y

but not by buying more guns

or even absurdly thinking to rid the world of them.     .      .

but by using what is so readily available to each of us:

O U R       A  R  M  S

.            .            .But, H O W

Literally HUGGING everyone you know

and those you don’t.            .            .

RESPECT   EVERYONE–INCLUDING   YOURSELF

No one can degrade you without your permission and it is WITHIN YOU to uplift ANYONE, the richest, the poorest, the most kind or the most evil around us.     .     .

ALWAYS  INCLUDE  CONSTRUCTIVE  ALTERNATIVES

Fancy way to say:

Thousands of studies have shown that working together is the most effective way to unite people–this is being an ultimate CARING CATALYST; It builds community and reassures the general public that YOUR MOVEMENT  is not a danger to any social order but a pure restoration of IT

BE  AWARE  OF  THE  LONG  TERM

Yes.     .     .VIOLENCE is effective, maybe way too much effective but in the long run it leads to more misery and DISorder; In non-violence, we can lose battles but still go on to win the war

LOOK   FOR   WIN-WIN   SOLUTIONS 

Whenever I can be a part of another’s success; I AM SUCCESSFUL; When I row you across the roughest and most troubled of waters, I get to the other side, too!

PROVE that the greatest power is never at the end of a gun  barrel  but at the end of your hand.     .     .it’s true, that when you reach out you may get hurt, shunned, mocked, but you also run the high risk of not just healing, affirming, comforting but actually REACHING what needs reached most: A N O T H E R

TRUE     OR     FALSE:

Is all LIFE is interconnected; Your PAIN is my PAIN; YOUR HAPPINESS is MY HAPPINESS.       .       .

I  can  never  be  what  I  ought  to  be  until  you  are  what  you  ought  to  be.   And  you  can  never  be  what  you  ought  to  be  until  I  am  what  I  ought  to  be.  Martin Luther King, Jr.

When it comes to  not  just  bearing  arms,

but actually using the two most powerful ways possible:

O U R   A R M S

to effect the most drastic means of healing change

there’s but one answer:

Without a doubt

Violence is a bon-fire of hurt that burns many,

Love is that small flicker that makes it impossible

for us to forget the

F         L         A         M         E 

We hear.     .     .

We witness what happens

most recently in Las Vegas

and while we’re so tempted to

r     e     m     e     m     b     e     r

the senselessness of it

we need more to be

m     i     n     d     f     u     l

of  how  our  own  personal

C A L L        T O       A R M S

is a Caring Catalyst way

that will bring the most

long lasting solution.          .          .

Our Constitution

is not going to be amended to repeal our right to bear arms

evil will remain.       .       .

G U N S  and  L O V E

can never be legislated.          .          .

but of the two—

only one has a everlasting effect.          .          .
