Guns of the Ostracized
Everyone seeks comfort; someone or some group to enjoy being with to share the humor and joy. He must also have someone to share and rationalize his ideas with. He must have someone to listen to him. He must acquire a sense of civility from other peoples’ input. He must know the importance of group interaction, how to listen to others and feel the bond between them. He must learn that others have a certain knowledge of something that he doesn’t have and shouldn’t resent them for it. He must learn to respect them and recognize his place in the social world. He can’t look at them as being domineering because they aren’t. They can learn certain things from him also. He can’t let himself become bitter and resentful because of his inferiority. He can’t let it fester in his mind and want to do something to get even and gain a false sense of superiority.
He can’t disassociate himself from them. He needs them to learn from and be comfortable with. He can’t let his resentment control his actions. In order to get even with them, he must accept who he is and work toward a civil way to earn his respect. He can’t gain it through violence. He will never know what it is to love and be loved or to admire and be admired. He will miss out on the main ingredients of life; the love and friendship. If he chooses violence against others, he deserves the violence commited against himself. Violence could never solve any social problem. It is just the evil calling for a retaliation of more evil.
Guns of the ostracized should be the noble advancement of the simple minded; of one’s inferiority calling for his introspection in order to advance himself through a communal need.
I can't turn my thoughts away from the massacre at that school in Texas. That monster's punishment of death was too kind. I wish he could have seen the grief on the faces of the parents of the children that he murdered. If he had a conscience, the guilt would have haunted him for the rest of his life.
