October 20 … Taming the Tyrants
This morning, write a present-day dictator or tyrant a letter expressing your unconditional forgiveness for his (or her) current policies of ruthlessness (Amnesty International is a good resource for such information) and encouraging him/her to awaken to a more Peace-full & Just way of dealing with his or her citizens … Of course, these days, it would be just as poignant for you to send your letter to the current President of the United States of America (Trump) or many of his predecessors (especially Obama & Clinton), whose flagrantly wicked & blatantly uncaring actions (or lack thereof) cry out for Forgiveness as well. Remember, you are not trying to express your outrage, as tempting as that might be. For indeed, anger & indignation only encourage wrongdoers to defend their actions, not to recant and repair them. Instead, pause frequently while writing your letter and offer your unconditional support, should he or she wish to change his or her cruel &/or unjust style of governing to one that is more Caring & Kind.
