I am sure you have seen this symbol on almost everything; shoes, shorts, toys, games, dishes, and the most popular t-shirt. Did the fashion industry just run out of good ideas or something? Why is this fad so popular anyway? Have you ever stopped and wondered why would I every purchase skull and cross bones for anyone in my family? Now don't get me wrong I love fashion just as much as the next person, especially when it comes to out of the box ideas. But come on, couldn't they come up with something better than this?
Lets stop and think for a moment, what does the skull and cross bones represent? According to journalist Richard Cassaro, "The Skull & Cross Bones is an ancient symbol with a powerful, hidden meaning. Today the Skull & Cross Bones signifies “poison” and we’re warned to “stay away.” But this is an intentional deception by the elite to hide the symbol’s true meaning. In fact, the Skull & Cross Bones is an ancient instrument used by sorcerers to gain spiritual power". The Skull and Cross Bones is "the symbol placed on a person or object signifying death, finality, or one who is marked for death".
Do you feel comfortable marking yourself and kid for death? That's right Death! Are we allowing society to find their way into our homes with their beliefs of whats cool? We are families that set morals, make traditions, set expectations and exhibit love. Parenting is not for cowards, we must examine the things that we bring in our homes. Just like we take the time to monitor our children's social media paths, we should do the same in this fad and let this one FADE!
