Fratricide

For those who don't know, "Fratricide" means "to kill ones own brother or sister." What is currently going on between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is an excellent case in point. She states that in order to prove her "love" of America and deep "compassion" for the Democratic party and just wanting to be "helpful" to Obama, she is willing to kill and destroy him for us. America doesn't need hope, I guess is that she thinks we need the "Clinton Years" back, for better and worse.

What has made it so much more dramatic is two things. One is her genuine Narcissism . She has a very *real* sense of entitlement as opposed to coming to this nomination with humility. Two that is has been so televised. Though maybe we can add a third I'm that has added to the drama is the fact that she has so many enablers around her (including the media) pushing her along in the death dance. On top of that there was something that I found really interesting after last Tuesdays, PA Primary. 2/3 of the people voting thought that she has been inappropriately negative and attacking of Obama, but they still voted for her. So basically you had a bunch of people saying, you behaved badly, but we are going to cosign that atrocious behavior. That's odd.

So now the question is, "how does all of the above apply to us on a day-to-day basis?" Good question. I'm glad that you asked. the answer is that, we get what we ask for. In terms of this election if she gets elected, how do you think things are really going to go. If you have any doubts look at her recent statements about willingness to attack Iran using overwhelming force (e.g. Nuclear Weapons), should they attack not only Israel, but other Nations she considers in her pocket. That kind of thinking scares me and shows she inclined towards a visceral response, not looking before she leaps/

On the more personal level how this applies in another way is for me to look around in my life and examine how I personally treat others. Do I commit Fratricide on my own brothers and sister (which includes you)? Am I acting in ways that diminish you or hurt you? Am I doing something that might destroy you not only physically, but mentally or spiritually as well? That's very important.

I don't know if you realize this, but the reason why I blog at least 5 days a week, is not for myself, but to reach out and connect to you, because you are my brother or sister. I figure that this moment that we are in each others Mind is worth experiencing. The thoughts and feelings that people email back or comment on get me to thinking or help to remind me that we are all mysteriously interconnected and deserving of each other.

Fratricide is an evil that cannot easily be healed or made right. Not in this lifetime anyway. It would be better that we not use this tactic on each other. Trust me when I say that I am not better off, if I kill, maim or destroy you. We need each other not to survive but to live. We cannot practice fratricide and consider ourselves either civilized or human.
