My heart goes out to those in England. I know it affects the whole country; the whole world. I pray that someday this hate will end.
I don't believe that fighting hate with hate is the answer. I disagree with what I saw said on CNN today at the gym, aiming our bitterness towards the terrorists will not end terrorism. I don't have the answer. But as Newton said, there is an opposite and equal reaction and will cancel it out. Love is opposite of hate. I think Christ is correct in saying, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." I think therein lies the answer.
I wish I could have known the terrorists when they were children. I wish I could have been there to love them and show them that people can care, that may have prevented the senseless killing of others. I know that it is impossible and while there is evil in this world, there will be hate and hate crimes. The world as a whole is bad. But the individual people can be angels. I know a few of them. I wish love was as contagious as hate. Today after leaving a tutoring session, a man asked for money. He wasn't your garden variety beggar, but something didn't seem wholly right either. But who am I to judge? What's a dollar to me? I guess I'll go with one less drink this weekend. I can make that sacrifice. And it made me happy.
Love a child, save the world.
