I was shocked but not surprised at recent statistics on mental health.
I have long said that there is too much pressure on people, especially young people.
Suicide numbers among the young are soaring.
And it is no coincidence.
Children are left without a parent's love in child care centers from the age of a few months.
They are taught reading and writing skills before kindergarten.
When they start school they are treated as job trainees. This dehumanizes the child and prepares him for life as a work unit.
The only messages we get are materialistic - buy, own, watch, listen, enjoy.
Teenagers are tempted with fame and fortune.
Workers are overworked and underpaid.
Entertainment is meaningless.
Rock music is infested with Satanism.
Everpresent earplugs inject poisonous curses.
Sex, death, suicide.
Darkness, depression, evil.
It is no wonder there is a mental health crisis.
But there are remedies for these destructive influences.
Faith, compassion, love.
Sacred classical music.
New Spirituality based on unconditional love.
An acknowledgement of our humanity.
A return to the humanities in education.
A concern for everyone.
Forgiveness, mercy, friendship.
This is the message of the New Age.
May it increase.
