Too violent??

Yesterday I turned on the TV and the first thing I watch is a dead guy, I got traumatized because the news were showing it in a very crude way, I change the channel and a cartoon starts, where some little kids are "saving" their town, but there's something different nowadays, there's more blood, there are always falling teeth everywhere, more "boom!", "pow!" & all those things. I don't remember cartoons being so "violent" then I was a little kid, the only violence back then were the colorful "boom!" & "pow!" every now & then, but nothing more, just with some punches the bad guys were defeated and went to jail with some birds flying around their heads and spiral eyes. I was shocked, how can the new generations watch those things!! And if you tell them they are violent they say no!!
Now, today I was watching an anime called "Bleach" with my mom (she doesn't like that kind of stuff, but she was accompanying me ^^), there's blood, swords & obviously fights, so later she asked me:
"Why do you like that cartoon so much if it's only violence and lots of blood? I mean, you can't even stand watching blood because you get "dizzy"!"
There's when I realized something, It's not that the cartoons, TV series or the news are getting violent and crude, it's just that they are becoming more realistic. There are wars everywhere, people getting killed in the streets and roads, more new weapons, more militarily, nuclear weapons, kids that take guns to school, more suicides, divorces, kidnappings, drugs, alcohol, smoke, more "violence" in videogames, more, more & more of everything that make us kill ourselves! We are crazy people! LOL

Videogames, cartoons, etc are not "too violent", they are more realistic each time, think about it, the world is getting so much crazier and insane and so are the things we watch and play.
If we want to stop it, we have to start within ourselves. I don't have the recipe for worldwide peace, but I have an hypothesis that I'll share with you:


1) Star with yourself (the way you act and think)
     1.1)Change the way you treat yourself (if you make a mistake don't tell yourself you're stupid or hit a wall to get hurt, it's just a mistake)
     1.2) Don't play the role of the victim, accept you did something wrong and correct them, blaming others will harm them and maybe make them hate you a little bit.
     1.3) Hating gets to vengeance, and vengeance to more blood and violence.


2) Get together with your family. They love you and will always support you. A family is the group of people that walk with you in your life and help you grow, don't abandon them or make them to a side, become more close. A close family will be able to overcome all obstacles! (Family is not only the people with whom you share DNA, also your friend count if you want).


3) Ignore. The people around you will make mistakes to, and they might be having a bad day, if they say or do something that hurts you, ignore it, if you get mad things might get out of control. Don't talk or take any decision while you are mad. Think twice, and they think again.


4) Share. No explanation needed right?
     * Share knowledge
     * Share experience
     * Share jokes
     * SHARE LOVE!


5) LAUGH! (Life was meant to be happy Ü)
