SHOOTINGS - NOVA SCOTIA

[22SqnRAE]

This is another incomprehensible violent, selfish, intolerable act. I have nothing but deep sympathy for those families who are now grieving, the friends who now have a hole in thier heart and colleagues thinking how will we be without...?

What angers me, to the point of boiling rage, is that nothing will be done about this. The issue is not firearms, nor any other weapon of choice. It is self centeredness and an absence of discipline.

This is the result of a society where "fairness" means every child wins a prize for turning up. Is it a result of never hearing "no, you will not." It is a result is parents shrugging thier shoulders and saying "what can we do?" It is a result of people listening to psychologists talk in a clinical manner about children who must not be subjected to binary choices and outcomes, but negotiated with, when thier cognitive capacity and experience is unable to fathom such complex choices.

We, as a society, really are overdue at looking at the root cause of these despicable actions.

The cause is pretty simple. It's self-centredness. In places, it's narcissism. It is undeniably a complete absence of self-discipline which was taught at an early age, in a complete family environment, through cause and effect.

It simply not good enough mourning more victims.

It is simply stupid "banning" firearms.

It is simply cowardly not addressing the self discipline issue that comes right down to parents and every bloody individual there is.

I hope the loved ones left behind find peace soon enough. They did not deserve this torture.
