Energy Flows Where Attention Goes
Energy flows where attention goes.” With the latest example of violence at Virginia Tech, millions of Americans and people around the world are asking, “What’s the cause?”
We are a nation inundated with violence from every angle. One manifestation of this is the current ever-increasing popularity of violent horror films. In fact, according to an article I recently read in a major paper, “the more violent the better.”
Graphic images of violence in the media are now common place, and our senses have become deadened to depictions of violence. Is it any wonder that since Generation Y (or the Internet Generation) has grown up their entire lives watching graphic violence in their own living rooms night after night, that this would be programmed into them as “normal?”
