WHY ~ CAUSE and EFFECT...

 WHY ~ CAUSE and EFFECT

I, from the time I was able to say the word WHY, to this very moment, WHY stands as my ongoing question. As a student of science, it was a called for exploration. it was a word basic to the understanding, of CAUSE and EFFECT. It brought one to understand the underlying principles of form, of structure, of function. The WHY became the exploration within the sciences, within the arts, within the consciousness of Life and BEING.

There was ever the search for the WHY, for CAUSE and EFFECT, be it in biology, physics, chemistry, psychology, physiology, quantum physics, mathematics, geometry... ever the pursuit of the WHY. As a professional master educator since 1960, as an Educational Consultant/Therapist, in private practice since 1983, as a proclaimed Woman of Distinction in 2021, WHY has not ceased to drive me to search, to explore and to discover relationships of CAUSE and EFFECT.

With the NEWS of those plagued with substance abuse, with addictions, with suicides, we are to understand the pain and come forth with viable understanding and support. 

The WHY resounds ever so loudly when hearing of a 'shooter' who has brought merciless loss of innocent life. We are charged to ask WHY... charged to be more fully aware of the WHY ... charged to become knowing of CAUSE, so as to initiate, put in place, and sustain that which can offset a consequential, problematic, hurtful, regretful, horrific, EFFECT!

In the name of care, in the name of concern, in the name of resolution, in the name of protection, in the name of PREVENTION, our children, our youth, deserve our commitment, our understanding, our action, our care. YES, we are to ask, WHY? WHY? WHY?

Newtown Tragedy... horror... senseless loss... unspeakable pain, and then the tear driven question of broken hearts, WHY??

Tragedy... horror... senseless loss... unspeakable pain, and then the tear driven question of broken hearts, WHY??

A balance between the "right to bear arms" and protection from those who misuse this right to bring harm to innocent children, must be attained. A knife, a gun, by itself is not the "killer," it is the person that uses a weapon that brings forth the tragic loss of life. We must look at CAUSE - what moves one to kill, as opposed to the EFFECT alone. Every BEING is born innocent of crime... what has life taught a child, a teen, an adult, that leads to killing the innocent? Prevention, support of a troubled child, a distraught teenager, a frantic adult, must be provided. Medication is NOT the solution... it has been shown to bring about other aberrant behaviors without necessarily correcting the initial difficulties. SEEK CAUSE... for only then will resolve be attained.

As an educational therapist I have worked with many troubled children. When understood for their pain, when supported in their needs, when respected for their differences, CHANGE takes place. Positive transformations take hold. No longer is the child driven by frustration, confusion, and anger. No longer does the child have to lash out to feel a sense of power, no longer does the child feel hopeless in light of judgments and demands it may not be able to satisfy easily. Through supports that identify nutritional needs, guidance that is humanistic, activities that are creative and empowering, the child renews his/her sense of Self, all this WITHOUT medication, without harsh punishment. Look into the eyes of a young child... seen be the dreams, the love, yet present. When does it change? Why does it change? YES, WE ARE TO SEEK CAUSE..WE ARE TO BE PROACTIVE... and WISE ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND NEED... before it fuels destruction, tragedy and senseless killings.
