Man has always been in conflict with man and the elements. Man has killed man since the first struggle for food and shelter. Man has killed man out of fear and ignorance. Fear of a different color, god or belief that threatens their own. Wars have always been fought when a group of men were threatened someway by another group of men. Either for food, shelter, protection of loved ones or needed resources to aid in their survival.

Each century has seen violence, slaughter and war. All perceived by the intimate connection involved by those engaged in that war. Terrorism in one form or another has always been a tool used to intimidate and influence those with opposing views. THE DIFFERENCE is, that never before in history has awareness and information of those horrors been so accessible so quickly. Our minds are like sponges that absorb information. Never before in the history of man has so much information been available so quickly for our brains to absorb. Much of it is bad or horrific news. Our brains are saturated with catastrophe and calamity, not only in our small area of existence, but globally. We are inundated with horrors from around the world.

Our brains/sponges are overloaded with the sewage of violence, rape, murder, terrorism, kids killing other kids, mothers killing kids, environmental disasters, dire economic forecasts, doomsday predictions etc. And never before in history has man had so much idle time to absorb this cancerous information. Our survival has become technologically based instead of self sufficient. Our amazingly adaptive brains are heavy with sewage…sometimes we just have to stop and wring them out. Wring out the sewage and make room for fresh, clean water. The challenge for each of us, is to find the pools of clean water among the sewage.
