On the other Heart … (03/12/16)
On one hand, the mass media is telling us that the days of Kindness & Integrity are over; that a new era of intolerance & fear & hatred has begun … AND YET the Truth of the matter is FAR different. The Truth of the matter is that a vast portion of humanity is actually waking up to what it means to be truly Human(e) … The Truth of the matter is that people everywhere are turning off their televisions and turning on their Hearts … The Truth of the matter is that people everywhere are facing their fears and choosing Love over anxiety, Respect over rudeness, and Decency over demagoguery.
Don’t get me wrong, things do still look pretty grim — there are still millions of folks whose minds have been soaked in the rank stew of bigotry and cowardice. And as such, there is still a more-then-decent chance that our species will not survive the next 50 years …
AND YET there is still hope, and we all — each & every one of us — CAN still make a significant difference … This means YOU … YOU can do your part TODAY to see that your community shines brighter in solidarity instead of descending further into the shadows of cultural phobias. YOU can extend Kindness to those least like you … YOU can be generous with those who have less or need more … YOU can call for Peace while loudly denouncing all those who spout ignorance & hatred & violence.
YOU can make a difference …
YOU can help save humanity.
Won’t you help us do so?
