Also, I like action films. Where does that leave me? I don't want people to die, yet I pay to watch it happen violently on a big screen. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say that makes me a hypocrite.

Persona...Interesting way to phrase your question. <br /><br />Personally, I feel frustrated over the casual regard of violence of our culture. I'm frustrated that really, really dangerous guns are publicly available, mental health help isn't available, and there are so many opinions and facts flying around re: gun violence that simply forming an opinion is nearly impossible(not to mention change to the status quo). <br /><br />Do I feel complicit? Yes. But where do you start? What aspect of a cultural-level problem do you, an individual, attempt to address? What education/career/networking is required for me to change something? How much do I mettle in the affairs of another individuals sovereignty? Am I missing something amazing about owning a weapon of rapid destruction?? It all gets so overwhelming that rather than address my role in the solution, I end up thinking about other things... Molly Whitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459029795531792659noreply@blogger.com
