Do not let your Child play violent Video Games! - 14 Mar 09

Food for a day

Yesterday I talked about ‘sports’ which are very aggressive and with which children get the impression that violence is fun. Wrestling, about which I was talking yesterday, is a whole setup of aggression and especially teenagers watch these programs in TV. Then there are video games which are even more violent. And then you wonder why young people are violent and aggressive? Why do they show this in television? Our youth and our children are watching this and it is supported by government?

I want to ask people to avoid this kind of television program and discourage their children from watching it or playing video games like that. Please do not buy or give it to your children! TV companies and government might not forbid these games and shows because of the money and business they have with it but you can avoid them! Government does not feel responsible for this harm that is caused by these games and the TV series but we are responsible for our children and their actions because we plant the seeds which will grow and result in what they do! We might not be able to change the government and the TV shows but I want to invite all parents not to buy and not to support it! If society doesn’t change in this way, these incidents can happen again and again.

It's amazing what kind of shear violence is allowed in games. In Japan there is a actually a fantasy rape video games. It is unbelievable! I'm not even sure how anyone could want to play that. It is sad how many harmful things we bring in through our front-door... willingly much of the time.

Words of Wisdom

  • Friend

    A normal friendship means that sometimes you are a bit less close and sometimes you are closer again. You may have different opinions on topics but can still be friends. That is what is normal.

    Source
  • Religion

    I love the flexibility of religious belief! You can say any nonsense you like and you will definitely find religious arguments for it, proving your point.

    Source
  • Body

    You need to learn to be happy and satisfied. You should be healthy and feel happy and good with your body.

    Source
  • Friend

    If you have befriended someone because of a reason, when those reasons are gone, your friendship has no meaning anymore.

    Source
  • Freedom

    If you believe that a one-night-stand, an ‘open relationship’ or homosexuality is morally wrong, you don’t need to have such relationships or be gay! You cannot however limit other people’s freedom by telling them of your ideas of morality and what is right or wrong.

    Source
  • Change

    When you change yourself, things start changing around you. It works!

    Source
  • Body

    Bleach your face with ‘fair and lovely’ cream, get slim and tall with pills, make your vagina fair and tight – it is not this what makes you a beautiful woman!

    Source
  • God

    The scriptures of many religions tell the reader that God is beyond intelligence, beyond arguments and you cannot get to know him by discussing or talking. So why do you even try?

    Source
  • Body

    If you feel you are overweight and you are unhappy with it, do something against it! You are the one who has control over your mind and who can shape your body. Take your responsibility and start.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Do what you feel is right. That will make you happy.

    Source
  • Loneliness

    People, afraid of loneliness, want to train themselves for it and make this affirmation: "I can be alone". "I need my space" is another phrase which is often said by those who would actually like to have someone around them.

    Source
  • Gurus

    The follower who goes to gurus who mainly give blessings is a very fearful one. People who fear god wish that there is someone on this earth who has the power to bless them so that nothing happens to them. They want to have assurance and that is why they feel good with those gurus. The guru becomes incredibly close to being god without really doing anything. Just blessing.

    Source
  • Ego

    Fighting your ego - a continuous struggle with yourself?

    Source
  • Scriptures

    Scriptures - squeeze them and you will see blood dripping out of them!

    Source
  • Religion

    Don’t let a religion take away your freedom or tell you what to do. Take your own responsibility, be tolerant with others, love those around you and be free.

    Source
  • Change

    Change is normal and just a sign that you are alive and in the flow of life. We always change for the better when we make a conscious change and decide to change along with times. We are changing in every second and it is better to accept this change than to fight it.

    Source
  • Experience

    The explanation of why healing works is not important. Important is your experience.

    Source
  • Religion

    Flexibility is Hinduism's biggest quality and its biggest drawback!

    Source
  • Love

    Love should always be unconditional. If there is any condition, it is not really love. If someone leaves because of a condition you don't fulfil, you do not have to feel guilty or have an inferiority complex. Those who really love you, love you how you are, not because of something or a certain quality.

    Source
  • Identity

    Why do we need to pretend to be who we are not?
