EDITORIAL Let’s stop the cycle For over a year, I have been ruminating on the dishearten- ing feeling that, as my children grow, they are more and more often being exposed to violence between persons as a form of entertainment. And sadly, I can now see not only how I was continuously exposed to the same thing - albeit in different ways - but also how it had an effect on my heart. An effect that, even as I write this, I am still slowly working to scrape away. Violence between persons as a form of entertainment is not new. It dates back thousands of years, from Roman Empire stadiums of fans watching, cheering, jeering the gladiators — most of whom were slaves — as they fought each other to the death. Violence as entertainment was present when I was growing up as well, but today it has permeated even deeper, while we simultaneously seem to grow less aware of its presence. Music, television, movies and video games glorify violence between persons. Kids are playing video games that have no purpose other than being “last man standing.” You win if you successfully killed everyone else in the game. Television and movies meant for young audiences contain more and more violence, sometimes now even making the villain the hero. Realistic or animated, the feeling and emotions created are the same. We watch sports that have the sole purpose of defeating your opponent through physical violence. In sports such as MMA or boxing, the violence between persons is the primary goal. That violence is the entertainment. We have youth in our own community who line up boxing matches between each other, while other youth come to watch. Why? Many other sports can result in injuries, but deliberate violence is punished - not rewarded. Violence between persons as entertainment seems to be just viewed as “normal.” But what is normal about it, any of it? Why are we taking pleasure in watching one person physically assault another? We seem to overlook the base morality when it comes to violence between persons, whether real or imagined. Whatever we allow into our minds, we allow into our souls — whether or not we realize it at the time. When we allow ourselves to be entertained in such a way, we are setting ourselves up for an unintended hardening of our hearts. Instead of being a culture of love, peace, charity, patience and kindness, we are perpetuating the millenia-old culture COLUMNS that enjoys and encourages violence between persons as a supreme form of entertainment. We are coupling that with a shallow consideration — if any consideration at all — of the consequences of this violence.
