TOLERANCE FOR EVERYTHING LEAVES NOTHING SACRED

TOLERANCE FOR EVERYTHING LEAVES NOTHING SACRED By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist The United States has moved away from right and wrong to a society that tolerates almost anything. Our Christian Bible clearly spelled out sins for specific actions. As we moved away from hearing and reading the Bible on a regular basis the specific punishments for these behaviors are missing in action. Religious preachers have been replaced by university trained ultra-liberal teachers and newscasters who have taken too many psychology and sociology courses. These have taught them to believe that the environment of the individual has an incredible impact on their actions and thinking and should excuse any deviant behavior. Every daily news program in every local community reports the human failings of that day. Killings, robberies, kidnappings, sexual abuse, and general perversion are featured stories on news programs. Robbery is shown by a video of a store being cleaned out by a gang of thieves. Murders in a community although frightening are tantalizing to the audience. This is a message to the audience that neighborhoods can be dangerous, and they need to be aware or what is happening around them. Too often crime filled neighborhoods lose control of preventing escalating crime. Because of the physical danger police officers often stop walking the neighborhood beat. The number of informants dwindles which limits the police’s ability to take the bad characters off the street. This leaves the criminal element to convert naïve kids to follow them into crime. Every devious behavior becomes attractive to these naïve youngsters to try it out. It starts with petty crime then moves up to more sophisticated crime including embezzlement, drug dealing, cooking the books, forgery, kidnapping, or bank robbery. When these easily influenced young people see that they are not receiving consequences for their serious illegal actions but a litany of psychological excuses for their harmful psychopathic behavior they become more brazen in their crimes. They become creative in excusing all types of their antisocial actions. Forgiveness and tolerance for intolerable perverted behavior does nothing except erase the clear difference between exemplary and disgusting thinking and actions. Crime is no longer limited to petty crimes but expands into ways that will bring criminals much bigger paydays. Everything becomes a possibility even extortion or murder. Nothing is out of play for the criminal mind is open to anything that will make them richer and more powerful. As they get deeper into the criminal world nothing in their life is sacred any longer. Tolerance for everything and anything is not something that one can build an exemplary life on. Tolerance for everything leaves nothing sacred.
