Killers in our midst, our Bodies

"...In killers a point comes when rational thinking, and allegiance to the mores of society aerify. Once those things become vapor hard substances settle into the corners and crevices of the mind, discoloring the emotions, darkening the spirit of a man that was once a child. It should be a reflex to see flashes of killers when they were children. It narrows the need for revenge when they kill one of yours, or their killing adversely effects the common good. The balance of things thrown off by killings meant to be righteous revenge of a wrong the larger population is angered about supports a rickety foundation's notion of a hero. 

We create our killers. It is our natural way. It is a by-product of our system of thought. It is what we reap in our loins and our spirits. It is the American Way: killing the way we do, and when our young receive that vision without filters we get what we get much to our chagrin..." - Gregory E. Woods 12.21.14
