Violence breeds violence as the story goes. All things considered (or at least set out to fill the air as dirty laundry often does) Americans find ourselves at yet another crossroads. We love our Liberty, but how do we stop the shooter who is taking aim at the LGBT community? We polish up our justice badges as another judge calls that history of domestic abuse ending in murder "self-defense". Even our sibling communities are rioting over a futbol game in Marseille. Has it anything to do with the big 7 (age, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or the Physical/mental/emotional differences based on the aforementioned 6)? Probably. So now the question must be asked, "How can we become more productive and comfortable around one another?
DAMN, that's a GREAT question!
The answer is (from the observation deck, with my dog and my big mug of ice water): each one of us practice courtesy, dignity, and respect with full capacity and valor (BTW, this stuff is all free: it generates inside each of us in limitless abundance; the more we give the more we have to replace it)!
Shall we give it a whirl?
Respect. Tolerance. Forgiveness. Act with dignity. It's definitely time to give it a shot. :)
