Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure!](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-BCoF_2-1901868_14.gif) Hi.Has anyone noticed the leaves on the trees? Generally, we have autumn colors in October and bare trees by the end of October. Many of the trees are bare here already. When we grocery shopped last week, I noticed South of us by 25 miles there are 3 parts to the forests. Green, fall colors, and bare trees. My question, what does this mean for winter? Roy T. Bennett had a good thought here. In the atmosphere being pushed in the USA, someone is trying to usher the public into thinking of violence. Our parents and grandparents did not want to join the war, which was deepening into WWII. Eventually, the country did join the war. Somewhere between 416 and 418 thousand deaths were attributed to that war. What we don't see is the way loss of family members to any kind of war affects relationships and living conditions of families. At another time in this country, I read an article that said, the people in the USA were too complacent. Not enough people were voting; not enough people were willing to speak up about different problems that were facing the country. There were people who suggested our willingness to remain peaceful was a sign the country was in error, and of course suggestions were made on how to wake up the public. It was at this time when I discovered in historical readings, that making a martyr of someone could start a war. What I really think is when people do not want war, when people are happily living in a peaceful way, it shows that their political system works. Organization, laws that meet the needs of the people, systems of help, when a family is in need. Those are the proper way to treat a large public. If you look at the school shootings, you find people who did not get help when it was needed. Sometimes people were unaware that the shooters needed help. The violence did not work either; it just made more problems for someone in their everyday life. What I see now is a few people making a loud noise about starting wars, the majority of populations in many different countries don't want. I did say majorities. People do things they should not do. It is the way we approach the solution to problems that make life livable. |
