Innocence lost..

It never fails to amaze me how people in an effort to understand something, resort to oversimplification. There may be experts who can attempt to explain the disconnections of a criminal mind, who can highlight the curiosities and differences of the mentally ill. That does not mean it is for you to understand, a moderately well adjusted mind is not wired to truly understand madness.

The fear mongering is nothing but polarising, whether it’s the left vying for tighter gun control or the right lamenting the absence of god in schools. Academics want further research into mental health, while the pharmaceuticals offer band-aids while lining pockets. If each of these were a solution in and of themselves, where would we be relative to where we are?

So long as the division stands, chaos and discord will breed in the cracks and it won’t matter what legislation is passed or how many recite a prayer before opening up their notebooks. Too many are caught up with wanting to be right and blaming someone else that they’re missing the point and the darkness that lies in the details.
