I do not understand why
people are destroying and defacing statues, destroying statues does
not change the history of the country.
If you have a problem
with our history you are not alone, we need to educate the future
generations telling them the facts good bad and other wise it is all
part of this country we don't need to be proud of it we just have to
acknowledge it. We also need to learn from our mistakes and go
forward and do better.
How about riots?
What do you think of
them?
I don't understand them
either or why people act in such a way, I wonder if they do how do
they explain their behaviour to their children and other younger
members of their families. I would be embarrassed by such behaviour.
We should be setting an
example and leading by example but so many are not.
I do believe people are
good and generally do good things but there are some who are not and
just immature and have a lot to learn.
Live your life the best
you are able, treat people as you would like to be treated and
remember to be kind and have compassion.
I do not have any idea either - we are having great distress here too.
ReplyDeleteAre they destroying statues there, too? I know why they are here. But the riots with looting is distressing. Most of the protests have been peaceful, though. The press dwells on the ones that aren't. Crazy times.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Jo-Anne.
ReplyDeleteCan't see any sense in a riot. Anger management those people need, education of history is needed, think about how you would like to be treated. Have a mind of your own and do not follow as sheep.
Put hoses of water on the people in riot and keep doing it :)
What is the past is there for us to know what happened back in the past, we can not change the past and we need to move forward.
Most of the protests here have been peaceful. I understand some of the tearing down of statues---many represent a terrible time in history linked to slave ownership and the slaughtering of Native Americans. I agree that these statues should not be placed in parks, etc. but we cannot erase history---we must learn from it and not make the same mistakes. These statues belong in a history museum so that the people who want to see them can do so freely in an effort to learn more about our history.
ReplyDeleteI think that all of the things you mentioned have to do with the absolute inability of today's society to look beyond themselves at anything that doesn't echo themselves.
ReplyDeleteSandie.......Nice to know I'm not alone
ReplyDeleteRita......Yes they are, the press can help or cannot heljp at times
Margaret D........Yeah riots are pointless and the psat is the past and can't be changed
Mamma........Yes statues should be moved to mueseums if people object to them
Chris......So bloody true
I have strong thoughts on the matter.
