RE: Guns vs mental health and the Florida school shooting.

in #life6 years ago

True, and to the point of guns, there's a huge difference between a having a gun for protection and having an assault weapon. An ex that kept a rifle in his house, but as soon as his mental illness presented itself, (clinical depression) he removed it from our home. As deep as his illness had gotten however, there's no way he could bring myself to seriously consider owning a gun. But the more that we focus the discussion mainly in mental health and add mire stigma to an illness society still doesn't fully understand or accept, the bigger evil here is the access to these massive weapons.

Sort:  

Now when everyone is getting extremely empowered by technology and tools our kindness and responsibility has to increase. Not like we have any other choice. As of right now the big problem is that it's impossible to have any discussions about anything. What I suspect will happen to the western world is they will fall behind the developing world since they are so invested in their current reality. Almost like we beta tested the world on them.

Since location doesn't matter anymore with technology that means that the western world will have to compete in a global economy with people that are willing to work way harder and more effective. Love needs to be shared more but again it's very complicated since this can very easy switch to a survival of the fittest game especially when world population goes up to 9 billion.
