Welcome and Prisons Issue
Have you ever thought why things work the way they do? I have, many times. Lately I read a series of three books called Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch. You can find also some info on Wikipedia about it. It is a very interesting series where Neale is chatting with God about the most important questions the human kind has asked since the dawn of our era.
Who are we? What do we want? Not as a nation but as a race. Where are we going? We do not exist just to exist. We see that on the past years we have evoled from throughing rocks to outer space. So where does this lead us? Where do we want to be leaded to?
I have created this blog because I would like to discuss with anyone who has to add something to this conversation, about obeservations we have done in our everyday lifes on things or situations that did not work as expected.
Let me be more clear about that with an example and the first topic of the blog. Prisons. They were created in order for the people who missbehaved to pay for their crimes (or what we call crimes according to our social laws that we have established). Despite their original creation was for rehabilitation, I do not think that this is what it is being done. Most prisoners get inside for minor crimes and when they get out they know how to do major crimes. So my observation is this. Prisons do not work. In addition to that, prisoners get inside. Sit around, eat, sleep and who pays for all these?
The tax payers! Which are the people that were wronged by the people that they are now called to pay! It is like someone kills your child and as a punishment you give him money to stay in a hotel for very long time! I wouldn’t like that even if he killed my mother in law!
Do you think that prisons work as they should? And if not, what would you expect to see? Where would you like to go from here on this matter? Which would you think would be the solution to the crime problem?
And a more general question: What would you like to be discussed here about?
