TRADITIONS WITHOUT VALUES

HARDENED HEARTS

Without purity man becomes defiled leading to frustration, anger violence and rebellion. A man without morals is a sick man, we lose our humaneness as the defilement and degradation shames us, hurts us, soils our minds and hearts and we are forced to harden ourselves to survive. Pain causes devastation and we all too often shut down our feelings and stop caring for ourselves, others and creation as a whole, because it is far easier then repairing the damage, that which can be repaired. Once our innocence is taken, our purity is defiled, our trust is broken, it takes a lot of understanding to reshape our lives in such a manner as to still be humane and decent. Mostly we feel the world 'owe's' us, because it defiled us, but the world's a dead thing and will give nothing in return, it is not even aware of you and you get what is one the path that you travel...tough cookie....the way it is.... It is up to us to find the reasons and not to allow it to destroy our lives, to learn to still be decent in spite of the horrors and disappointments we encounter and to use it for upliftment and not destruction..
