I think the death of Osama has become the celebration for many who have kept a level of vengeance within. In the celebration of his death, I am guessing we’re celebrating revenge. Subtly, the celebration is a propagation of revenge. How can humanity evolve as a whole when we take pleasure in living out our hurt? The man died, because someone put a bullet into his head, as he did with many others. Regardless what he did, his death was murder too. And the masses celebrate that? Do you see the joy that is coming out from some of them who came to know this news?
The subliminal our children may pick up is that it is alright to lash out revenge, and if it comes through, celebrate. In his book, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, Daniel Goleman said that all human communication is made up of 93% non-verbal and 7% verbal. A direct breakdown of that 93% is that 55% of it is the physiological and 38% of it is in the tonality of the communication. So guess why our children pick up things we do, and not what we say? Whatever we put out into our energy field from intent manifesting it into behavioral impacts the growth of our children every second. And celebrating this revenge over the last 48 hours, is taking the world by a storm. Think about it.

bro, i agreed with u! just feel sth wrong with the society today as people seem “enjoy” the moment of death. people might argued if he cared about 3,000 lives were taken in the last 911 attacks, and he deserved the death he got.
Tim, try putting yourself in their shoes.

You’ll understand why it happens and you’ll understand why celebrating revenge, though not necessarily proper, is also not necessarily wrong.
Hi Edmund, I saw this some time back.
Sam Richards nails it. No one could have said it any better.
I have not only put myself in their shoes. I’ve taken out mine to be in theirs for a bit. My concern in what I write is the impact of it on the young. The intent is to stop and look in awareness. Not to wrong them. My point is that more than often, the reactions that come out from the masses are behavioral patterns we are playing from our day to day living. Point is the REACTION. Sam’s idea of radical empathy is exactly what I’m driving at…because one suspends their thoughts and feelings, go through a thought process, and then responds in higher consciousness. Thus the outcome and quality of response to the bigger picture would differ.
Thanks for highlighting the URL link Edmund. Many would benefit from this video too! =)
