Confronting the Negative – A Not-So-Happy Meal

By Dr. Terry A. Gordon

In today’s world with all of its uncertainties, it’s easy to understand why so many people find themselves stuck in the depths of despair. Whether it’s the terror gripping us as we worry about Al-Qaeda attacks using weapons of mass destruction directed at the homeland or the unsettling power of Mother Nature gone awry coupled with the fear of the financial markets unraveling, it is painfully obvious why our mental health is at risk.

A while back, I stopped at a local restaurant for breakfast. I smiled as I noticed a father opening his 4 year-old son’s ‘Happy Meal’. I reminisced back to a time long ago when my son, Tyler, and I would spend a weekend morning at what we referred to as ‘Men’s Club’ when Daddy and son would share quality one-on-one time together. As I was recalling that marvelous experience, I was suddenly yanked back into a sad reality.

As the father was unwrapping his son’s meal and toy, I realized the youngster was distracted by what was on the big-screen TV in the dining area of the restaurant. CNN was showing the vivid images of bloodied, dead students being carried from the Virginia Tech classrooms, the tragic aftermath of a bloodbath senselessly inflicted by a crazed young man.

Watching with a look of horror on his innocent young face, I watched his reaction to the video sent to NBC by the killer. Certainly, this child didn’t understand the murderer’s raging diatribe of threats and demented explanations of why he had felt compelled to commit such a horrific crime, but the impact on this youngster was undeniable.

The irony struck me that this was anything but a ‘happy meal’!

The tragic truth is that very few of us can enjoy a happy meal – or a happy day for that matter. As I witnessed this child losing an innocence he could never recapture, it became sadly apparent to me that we as a world community have also lost much, namely the forfeiture of balance in our lives.
