of time to live, but it is only a blip on the scale of things, a mere split-second of time, very insignificant in the life of the Universe its self. The Zoitoids on the other hand, living an average of seven hundred Earth years, seems like a very long time also (to us), but is still an insignificant period of time on the scale of things. As stated, with the Zoitoid's low rate of procreation, they may only survive as a species for another one hundred million years, not much time at all.
Compassion for your fellow man is a fleeting quality, most Humanoids on this planet like to think of themselves as a caring and compassionate people, and the majority are. But unlike Zoitoid societies, there are those who 'have' and those who 'have not', the western world countries verses the third world countries for example are as different as night and day.
There is a vast imbalance of wealth in the world, this imbalance is what causes most of the wars and resentment between societies (tribes). It seems that the countries that have wealth, use their wealth for manipulation of those less fortunate. It is not a sharing of wealth and prosperity, but rather a tool used for control of the have nots, a bribe if you will; We will feed you if....
You can easily see this imbalance only causes resentment and hate for those societies more fortunate. Although, there are many relief agencies around the world that do a lot of good, there is still a sense of just looking the other way by the majority of people who have when it comes to sharing for the good of his fellow man. It is not necessarily that he does not care (although some really don't care), it is rather that he cannot be bothered or is unwilling to give up what he perceives as his.
Greed and power are things not easily given up by this young society.
At present (early twenty first century), every three and a half seconds a child dies somewhere in the world from hunger or a preventable and treatable disease. About twenty-five thousand children die every day, over nine million souls a year. At any given time there are over a billion people that are continually hungry (a very large and unacceptable percentage of the world's population).
So, are you a compassionate person, or do you just look the other way, not willing to share with your fellow man because of greed or a lack of compassion? After all, it does not affect you directly, or does it?
Don't you think it is time to change mankind's behavior on this world? The disparity between persons on this planet has been described as a 'cancer' and should not be tolerated!
The Salesian of the Human Entity is not perfect, as with all Beings in the Universe, when a Human Entity is married, metempsychosia (45), with a new physical body, the Entity is supposed to have no recollection of previous lives, but sometimes the soul does carry forward with it pieces of a previous life in their conscious mind.
There have been studies of very young children (between two and four years old) who believe they are in the wrong body, most identify as being of the 'wrong sex'. Their sexual identity, their psyche is that of the opposite sex, either male or female. The first question you have to ask yourself is; How can a two year old identify with being in the wrong body?
There are a couple of theories on why these young children identify with 'their' being of the opposite sex. Some believe it is a psychological problem rooted in the upbringing. For instance, some psychologist think a male child may be too closely affiliated and attached to their mother, and not connected close enough to the 'male role model', their father.
One of these groups, known as, Exodus International, professes that homosexuality is a choice, that homosexuality is caused by the male role model not being involved with the male child, thus driving the child to seek an intimate relationship with another male. They contend that homosexuality is a choice, no different than a person choosing to use drugs or adopt a violent life style. (Their conception is unbelievable!).
There are psychiatric centers that deal with whole families on sexual identity of children, IE they teach the mothers not cuddle or pamper their sons, and instead have the child interact solely with the male parent. Part of their belief is that the child identifies to the other sex because of their psychosocial environment (46).
Some of these psychologist are of a thought that this 'malady' is a psycho-sexual disorder (47) they can treat with behavior modification. They believe this behavior modification teaches and instills (in the case of a male child) male masculinity to the child as he grows, 'assuming' he will act accordingly and conform to his physical sexual appearance with time.
Another theory is that a child's reversed sexual psyche is the result of an improper hormone balance in the brain while in the womb. They believe that (in the case of a male child) there was not enough of the male hormone testosterone for a 'proper' male psyche to develop. Sometimes, male hormones such as testosterone are prescribed for this child to further his masculine development as he grows. Although testosterone enables the male child to develop differently than a female child, IE muscles, facial hair, etc, the truth is; homosexual males have about the same levels of testosterone as heterosexual males.
Actually, these young transsexuals don't feel comfortable in their present bodies because they relate in their mind (their psyche) they are of the opposite sex. This phenomenon is quite common on this planet, there are millions of Earthlings with a sexual identity that does not conform to the 'norm', that is, they are either transsexual or homosexual.
Whatever you believe to be true, it is a fact that eighty five percent of trans-sexual children 'outgrow' or rather, 'grow into' their physical sexual identity during or shortly after puberty without any psychoanalysis or hormone treatment.
Some people (with a sexual identity opposite their physical body) accept their present bodies but are only attracted to members of their same sex (homosexual) as they grow past puberty. A small number decide they cannot live in their 'birth body' and they undergo sex change operations to match their body's physical appearance to that of their psyche.
Homosexuals do not choose to be homosexual, it is what is instilled in their psyche, a carrying forward of a past life's memories!
Still, there is prejudice against anyone whose sexual identity does not match their physical body, ignorance and prejudice for being 'different' from the masses. If you ask any homosexual why they 'chose' this lifestyle, all (without exception) would tell you it is not a choice, it is just who they are, how they feel inside. Homosexuality is something they have no control over, even to the extent they feel a repulsion at the very thought of having a sexual experience with members of the opposite sex, much the same way a heterosexual person feels at the thought of a sexual encounter with members of their same sex.
Many homosexuals and transsexuals have tried to live a heterosexual life style by denying their homosexuality because of the prejudice against homosexuality or fear of rejection by their family and peers, desperately not wanting to be 'different', they live a 'lie'. But if they do try to deny their sexual identity, they live a very lonely and painful existence. It is estimated that up to fifteen percent of the population of the world is homosexual. The extremist in some of the Islamic countries such as Iran, Turkey and Pakistan, actually publicly execute young homosexuals, just because they are homosexual. Barbaric! Who is the real evil in this case?
Every person is a unique one of a kind Entity in the Universe, a very special Entity that is a part of the whole that is the Universe.
Through persecution or ostentation by one's peers, some individuals actually choose suicide instead of the life they have been given. I wish I could talk directly to each and every one of these unhappy souls.
Your life is of utmost importance to the whole of the Universe, whatever the problem today, tomorrow is another day and a new beginning. Today's feelings of depression or despair can be just a bad memory tomorrow, realize the ones who are persecuting you are not perfect either, there is no such thing as a perfect Being.
People who practice persecution and bullying are doing so because of their own insecurities. Mankind is so
primitive that he is constantly trying to prove to himself that he is at least better than some others. This competitive mentality is quite evident by our obsession with 'sports' around the world, the chance to be better than others at something. Most bullies only persecute others for their 'perceived' faults because of their own severe lack of self confidence, self respect, lack of compassion and empathy for his fellow mankind.
Hopefully as mankind matures, he will outgrow these destructive and hateful acts. As a matter of fact, it is Humanities obligation to curb the activities of a bully in any context, whether the bullying is on a personal or political agenda.
Please, I beg of you, talk to someone if you are so depressed or tortured by your peers or society to even contemplate the thought of ending your life! If not your parents or siblings, then maybe a school counselor, county mental health counselor, suicide hot line, or even a local preacher, just talk to someone, please! Tomorrow will be a better day, the Universe needs you.
The Human psyche is made to share life with another soul, to be a part of the group, a part of the whole, to be able to share their passions and tribulations of life, a sense of belonging, but most importantly, the need to be accepted by
