When a young, costumed person decides to treat your home to a timeless blend of toilet paper and free-range eggs, the first instinct is to blame the individual in question. I’m here to tell you this is wrong. The problem is not the person shoving dog excrement into your mailbox and lighting it on fire, but rather, a society that encourages children to emulate ghouls, goblins, and ghosts.
You want a monstrous culture, then get kids to dress up as monsters and watch as the transition happens awfully fast.
There is always a hushed discussion around the Devil’s influence, whether it be popular music, tv, or film, but Halloween is typically ignored. Why is that? This is a day (although now it feels like a month, as the holiday encroaches on edge of summer) where Satan and his hideous minions are the norm. Where are the angels? Besides the fallen ones, of course. They are nowhere to be found.
The pandemic normalized mask wearing and anti-social behavior for an entire generation. So the next time you’re scrubbing egg yolk out of your gutters, remember, it’s not the person who threw it who deserves the blame, but the system that created an environment where something like this can happen. Got that?
