Love Our Way

Love our way; 

continuing on a political theme here, that really, this is a season of division that has spread wider and deeper than ever before. We're literally and constantly being told who we're supposed to hate and given vague reasons why we must despise them - terms, slogans, and chants - all offered to stir the blood and give rise to our darkest and most violent emotions. 

but no one can truly convince us to hate another. 

those thought reside in us alone.

and it's our responsibility to heal them.

we'll never hate our way to freedom. 

with almost half of any country convinced that there's an enemy within they'll eventually burn themselves completely to the ground and proclaim victory to the ashes. There's really only one alternative to this, a simple solution, although admittedly not initially easy - love those whom we perceive as different, for whatever reason, without a single exception. 

especially those we most strongly disagree with. 

vote against them.

campaign.

even protest if there's a valid reason.

but don't hate.

because it never works.

we can only love our way to healing.

let's try.

Peace, Eric
