Now You Know!: Stop Kony! Good Does Triumph Over Evil With Your Action



I am first and foremost a teacher. I think I must have started before the age of four when my mind perceived people's sensitivities and emotions and I taught them to myself and remembered that the information could be used later on. Perhaps it is instinctual but it was for survival purposes. So you may think that kids don't "know" much, but when they are born, it is full throttle with survivalist synapses in tact. It is only with language and folkways and norms that adults force children to learn, that many of these instincts and intuitions become pushed into the realm of the sixth sense, when in fact, I do believe they are the paramount sense.

Well, if you are a child, and it's either kill or be killed, your sixth sense becomes completely operative and all your other senses focus on the main one of surviving. If you have been abducted against your will and the only thing you know is breathing, under force and duress, you can and will do anything to breathe and eat and drink so you can get to the next day, when maybe you can escape, maybe you will be delivered, maybe your abductors and murderers who want your blood and let you know each day that you are expendable and have to kill or be killed, maybe they will die. Maybe you will have the courage to put the bullet through Kony's brain and end it as others rise up with you. But always, always, you must survive. That sixth sense is telling you maybe, just maybe you can make it though you despair and wish you were dead every day of your young life.



And so it is for the children of Kony, the ones who were invisible now SEEN by a video that has gone viral. And so as those children have cried out in their hearts for deliverance, and so as their sixth sense, their intuition has told them they will make it to the next day and they will be delivered, so they will. And you, reader and watcher, will help them. First, understand that evil exists. Evil attempts to destroy hope. Evil first starts with destroying the intuition we were born with. But also know that good triumphs over evil. Good will triumph as you watch, see and remember. You will act. Sign a petition, put up a poster, give money. But you will act because good is stronger than evil, and the only way that evil can triumph is that good people do nothing. That is why this video was made. So that you can act to STOP KONY. Act to stop evil. Act to return these children to themselves. Their six sense has foretold it and you are their answer.

Read another view to see why giving money may not be the best action.

You are so good at bringing the important issues to the forefront. I put this on my FB page, too. Isn't it amazing/horrible that these kinds of things are STILL GOING ON IN THE 21st CENTURY???

You are right. In a technological age of cloud computing there is still wickedness in the human heart. I do hope that making Kony visible will alert those who can do something...to do the right thing.
