If, in fighting against the tragedy of HATE, you get sucked up into its corrupting tentacles, then what is to be gained? You are no better than that which you seek to fight against, and are, in essence, only fighting yourself, if you are conflicted! LOVE is the answer, I tell you! Scream it loudly to the rooftops and then some...until all the raging world stops to listen to sanity, even but for a brief moment!
Dare to be different and stand alone, if you must, if no one will listen to the VOICE of REASON! Different ideas can be dangerous to the one who holds them when they are different from the masses, but this does not mean they are wrong! Stand steadfast and endure! It may seem like an eternity will pass before the tide begins to change, but, as they say, even the fluttering of a butterfly's wings over the oceans can have a subtle effect in its origins, but then can one day become profound!
People who have spiritually and emotionally evolved should at least try to free themselves of hate and bitterness, even if they have suffered wrongs from other people, because it is liberating for the person that learns to forgive--no more power is given over to the perpetrator! Live each day with a "tabula rasa", or a blank slate!
The Bible says that "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Proverbs 15:1. I thank those who are fighting for peace and healing now in this country for your kind-heartedness in helping to turn away wrath in the recent riots! You are truly being the hands and feet of God when you reach out to people in their time of need--when they are at a crossroads and can be turned back from their wrath and be saved from its blinding and deafening effects! May God be with you and strengthen you in your fight against hate from both sides!
I'm praying for God to fill up every person's heart today with love and peace, instead of anger and hate! Let people do a "U-turn" (or 180 degrees) from the destructive force of anger to the constructive force of the power of forgiveness and living in God's Amazing Grace! Amen!
