And is he also saying that she took one for the team so that the rest of us could learn some great lesson??
Wow. And I thought my head was going to explode earlier.
How about this? Why don't we stop trying to fit every horrible thing that happens into the grand scheme of things and just try to STOP THEM? Instead of running the mental equivalent of a dog agility course so that we can reconcile the LOA, subjective reality and everybody being completely non-judgemental to the point of being useless, why don't we accept that bad things might just be BAD? And that they need to be solved for the sake of our species? It seems to me that saying that we all attract everything and that revolting 'everything happens for a reason' thing that people always barf out when something awful happens, we ought to step up and take responsibility for fixing this world. Saying that we all attract everything is a cop out. It means that I am not responsible for anything other than myself and mine. It lets me off the hook for Jessica Lundsford. She attracted that to herself, after all. I can get back to the business of trying to attract a million dollars for me. Me Me ME. Boy, I like the sound of that. I can get back to being totally self-absorbed and analyzing every thought that flows through my head.
A lot of things you think for yourself are not dangerous. Me thinking that I roll more Yahtzees when I am in a good mood doesn't hurt anybody else. Me thinking that people (especially children) attract rape and murder might cause a problem because it allows me to abdicate my responsibility as a member of the human race.
I truly believe that heaven on Earth is possible. I truly believe that if just a small portion of the six billion people on this planet would start to work on holding positive energy and thinking positively, the world would be a better place. But I don't think that ignoring evil things or attributing them to the victim is heading in the right direction.
