I am a pacifist; that is my life; I do not like war, and I do not love the swinging pendulum of violence that takes our life for a trip down the psychological path of near insanity. We play violent video games, we watch violent movies and from that, we get an illusion that there is no way that a person of our young age could lose a life. They are wrong.

I have seen the effects of violence upon society; we are heaving in the ruminated mess of violence everywhere. Crime, bullying, and even rebellion have been swept forth from under our feet and have driven us to a land of dogs and wolves where we fight for desire and not for need. I have seen the effects of violence on children; more pushing, more fighting, more toughness, and less of the helping of each other.

Yet here, in this time and age, we find it almost disgusting to even hear about the reports of violence in our streets and in our town. We hear of children bullying other children for the small sake of “she didn’t wear a cool shirt” to “He’s lame”. And what is the result? Even more than now, the teenage suicide rates are higher than what one might expect; people are dying just because of some violence at school!

Bullies are rampant, they prance around…not being stopped, not being challenged, and always running away with their torch of victory burning in violence which they had put on to people. A bully never feels what his victim feels and yet, what do we feel when the villain or the NPC on the games are killed? Do we feel remorse? Do we feel sad? What do we feel? Do we even feel anything when we are the bully to them?

When will the violence stop? To be continued suscribe.
