I decided to write during the summer, only light post, those that are quickly forgotten how to read those novels summer under the umbrella, but yesterday I saw my neighbor's son play in road was with a boyfriend and played the war and had weapons in their hands. They played happily to kill and kill passersby. I stopped my head for a while. I do not think there's anything wrong with playing at war, at the bottom of every child of my generation grew up "playing cowboys and Indians?", So why now should be different. Maybe it was dramatic at the time as today, but nobody noticed and was interested in what children play.
The father of the child in question works in the army, I suppose for him, unlike me, see her son holding a pistol is a source of pride.
reflection that will follow may not involve children, more adults who are victims of neglect, but of adults. Every time he approaches the topic with friends there is always someone who says that the armies and violence are necessary for the maintenance of peace. But the armies really only serve to protect us from "any" attacks and their existence has prevented human being to evolve its own kind of morality to a more peaceful society? We are so used to leave it to others, not to take on issues that affect the moral standards that we do not even realize how we convoluted. The thing that distinguishes us from animals is that the frontal cortex in humans occupy much space compared to other species. This allows us to anticipate our actions and in this way and prevention measures that could be harmful for us and for the other. In many of us this ability is just an accessory. Nothing more. A society which lacks the concept of good and evil is the worst thing I can imagine. Ethical principles are learned and vary from culture to culture. When a parent let their child play with the weapons is telling him one thing very clear "that the use of weapons to defend themselves and kill individuals of the same species is right, when they play video games where the only objective is to kill many people as possible in a short time we tell him "okay, okay, this is tolerated." This week, Burma, San Suu Kyi was again sentenced to 18 months in Chechnya, Zaren Sadulayeva (took care of orphans reintegrate into society mutilated to prevent who could be recruited by armed groups, pests, Chechen) and Estemirova ( journalist, Anna Politkovskaya's heir) were abducted and killed, this makes me think even more bitter.
