It is said and written that the body can actually shut down when under distress. Only the bodily functions necessary to handle the stressful situations continue and the other functions shut down to allow the body to cope with the stress. In normal circumstances it is only for short periods of time that growth is stopped, but in extreme psychological stress—such as—in childhood stress—growth can be completely shut down; when children are removed from these extreme circumstances they are usually able to resume normal growth. Many people—especially children—live their lives in daily “extreme” stress. What does this have to do with you and your “fine”, stress-free lives? Look, we all experience some stress in our lives. It is even said that some stress is necessary for survival. My point with this passage is that we must all know that stress affects us and our ultimate existence. Each of us must find a way to deal with stress in our lives and to eliminate it as soon as we can. Hate is one of the most unnecessary stressors that we as a people accept and live with daily, and this stress (hate) is one of the most deadly killers of life that I know of, but yet, we continue to allow it to be a part of our lives—our minds—our hearts. We even are willing to pay for it in the books, songs, and movies that we are entertained with. For an hour and half to two plus hours, we will sit in a state of mindless hate-like abeyance watching some subjective documentary of events that may have happened to “our” people many years ago—yes, and some of these happenings were ugly and evil—but they are still events that happen in the course of humans. No! I am not justifying these acts of wickedness as a course of being human—I am, however, suggesting that we don’t need to continue dwelling on them as we do with our daily fixes of news events of hate and violence that continue to be pumped into the veins of our homes and many times into the souls of our young—our most vulnerable—our most precious connections to our futures—our children.
