Life Sharing.

As if it’s not horrific enough to watch the cruel, senseless, heartless way that some adults treat animals, we also have to bear witness to the phenomenon of young children emulating this behavior towards other creatures, helpless and smaller than themselves, and this include other children. Bulling, assault and yes, even children killing other children. This situation screams for and begs the answer to the question of, how long are we as the human race going to allow this condition of stupidity and blindness to persist? I think it is well past the time that we stepped up to our claim of being the most intelligent, powerful beings in existence and install some positive and effective life affirming standards in our society. First of all we should raise the laws and penalties regarding torture, assault, abuse and neglect to include all living sentient beings, not just humans and secondly we should establish the concept of “Life Sharing” as a subject in our education system. Starting in grade one and continuing through the entire education process. This would serve to bring out, encourage and nurture the development and bonding with understanding and feeling of respect, empathy, kindness and just plain decency, shaping them into the right thinking, right feeling people, that this world so desperately, needs, if it is to be a world worth living in.
