Yes , there are people engaging in “ evil ” activities — deeds designed to make us cower in fear or lash out in anger or loll about in a morose complacency . AND YET we are the ones who choose how we respond to these times :
* Instead of whining about the inaccessibility of quality health care , YOU CAN resolve most of your own maladies by drinking water instead of soda and eating delicious , purely plant-based meals …
* Instead of looking for a politician who is brave enough to rescind the Patriot Act and return your freedoms to you ( for example ), YOU CAN remove yourself from the political arena entirely and use that currently wasted energy on rebuilding your own community — on being the change you wish to see …
* Instead of zoning out while the nightly news fills your heads with melodramatic garbage & negative propaganda , YOU CAN turn off your televisions , go out into your neighborhoods , and remind yourself firsthand how Good people truly are — ALL of them , by acting accordingly …
* Instead of giving your time & your money to a corrupt churches and worshiping a God of callous judgment , YOU CAN leave that hypocrisy behind and make “ worship ” a verb — going bravely forth into your communities as active agents of Divine LOVE …
* And instead of yearning for revenge on “ the terrorists ” or meting out “ justice ” upon your transgressors , YOU CAN respond to all violent misdeeds with the true Courage of sincere & stalwart Forgiveness .
It is high time , my Friends … It is high-time for us to stop complaining about what is broken in our society and start repairing it ourselves ; time to stop coming together in indignant anger and instead begin to reunify our lives with Kindness .
Hopelessness is fear and fear is weakness …
Arrogance is fear and fear is weakness …
Anger is fear and fear is weakness …
LOVE , on the other hand , is a verb … and LOVE is Strength .
Be Strong , my Friends .
