Mental Health

     Murder, suicide, extreme violence, all seem to stem from poor mental health.  Even though we may not be prone to such extreme behaviors, our own mental processes may not be as healthy as they should be.
     Faulty information can flow into our minds, contaminate our thinking, and influence our behavior.  Our sense of logic needs to prevail to curtail the manipulation of others.  We need to welcome and search for useful and true information.  We also need to increase our emotional maturity, self-respect, and respect for others.
     Good parents teach their children to think and become civilized.  When children or adults show  signs of poor mental health, their families and associates should assume responsibility to get them professional help.  Counseling and medication may be required.
     Please, when you know someone who has poor mental health, don't give them access to a gun!
