So – in cleaning up, I found a tape of movies I hadn’t seen. One was Instinct, which I had missed from before. I almost didn’t watch it and I’m so glad that I just stuck it in and pushed play.
Why is it that people continue to think that it’s necessary to destroy creation? We must dominate, destroy, and control. Awful. Beautiful creatures destroyed for someone’s entertainments or because of fear.
There are some interesting points about the treatment of prisoners, also. Though of course there was a bit of drama, several psychological studies have shown what happens when “guards” are put in control over “prisoners” and the results – the disempowerment of the prisoners and the inhumane treatment by the guards – even people who considered themselves “kind” before the study.
Our systems are so broken.
Sorry - feeling a bit hopeless today. Holy Week symptom?
