Witch Hunt

Long long time ago there were women that were very progressive and free thinking. They had their own opinions and were not afraid to make decisions for themselves. This type of radicalism was very inconvenient and incomprehensible to some powerful big boys of that time. It is a proven fact that even today we fear and want to accuse as bad and evil that which is outside of the box. So these powerful people full of insecurities about their intelligence and status found an easy way of getting rid of the witches using religion. These women were accused of black magic, heresy and witchcraft, maybe even murder. In consequence, they died a horrible painful death by burning! Sad to say, but today we still burn at the stake that which is free thinking, creative and non-mainstream. And very often we burn them because we want to make up for our own insecurities and flaws.

I held out my hand to the good old buddy of mine that I listen to, yet often take him with a grain of salt, Mr. Wikipedia. According to thee, the first major witch hunt took place in Germany in 1563 as recorded. Then, after the reformation it grew and spread all over Europe where "witches" were tied up and burned alive for "True and Horrifying Deeds!"!!!!!! True and horrifying deeds!!!! Gosh it sounds so familiar! We do it now, today, to people that we deem as different and foreign or too intelligent for their own good!! We see them as having demonological almost ideas, just as back then! I guess what I am trying to say here is that we should try and understand people, especially those that are different from the mainstream. They might bring some incredible enrichment and a certain Eureka once we realise that we all come from different walks of life, hence, our characters and likes, ideas and creative outputs differ because of different from ours experience. Do I make sense? For example, kids that are raised on a farm and/or with limited TV time and IPAD/IPOD and even I-flower-pod will seek real life experience and will experiment with whatever tools are at hand. They will play with mud, piece of stick, they have loads of energy, express their emotions freely and seek real human interaction. They differ from the main stream kids who spend hours on TV, computer games, IPADS, etc. They look like zombies when they engage in these activities and they look like zombies when they get off them, because they dream of being on electronics. They lose touch with reality and real life. They get bored easily with real life scenarios and they seem lifeless. So obviously, you will make your judgement, the medieval kind of judgement. You will burn at the stake that first child without trying to understand. I will stop there and let you think about this. But I think, if you are reading my blog you already know about this and maybe even share my view.  So the last thing I will say is that is it truly evil to make judgements, and it is even greater evil to spread it because that hurts people concerning. And in the end it might hurt the inquisitors because Karma is a bitch! A real, smart, all knowing bitch! It might seem she is a quiet, little naive girl. But she is there, taking notes!

So have mercy on them witches my friends! Understand them. Love them! Let them grow! And most importantly, don't judge them!

CHeers! Love you all for being you!
