On a more spiritual/human basis, there are all those things that happen in the world. Child abuse for instance. It seems so much more predominant today than ever before. Why, is it really happening more? Or is it that we have decided to shine a light on it and let the world know that its been happening all along? Sure as the population grows the number of children, who are being abused is going to grow. But, is that percentage really any larger? Hypothetically speaking say there were more children abused this year than last year. Is that because there are more children in the world this year than last and percentage wise number of abused children to the number of children world wide is actually the same or is it that there are actually more children being abused? Were these children being abused last year and we just didn’t know it? More than likely... So, does that mean that Child abuse isn’t more predominant; the search for the abused is just more diligent? That is very possible as well. So ask yourself this is it a horrible thing? Yes it is. Now ask yourself this. How many of those people we refer to, as great humanitarians were abused children? Would they have been considered abused if the same standards were applied in their day? If you can say yes to even a few or even possibly to, a few of them then ask yourself this. Would they have been the great humanitarians they became if they hadn’t experienced the abuse or if we had saved them from the abuse? Of course, we cant say for sure that they would or wouldn’t. But, it lends a hand to the argument that balance is everything and we only can truly learn when we have experienced the rain of the soul and the pains of living. Sometimes too much light is a bad thing. Sometimes it’s a good thing. But, as always, the perspective of this is in the eye of the beholder.
