I watch the news with dismay wondering where all the hatred is coming from? I know we’re going through hard economic times but when it seems like half the country is against the other, is the economic state bringing out the hatred?
Is anyone with brown skin now the enemy?
Crazy pastors who get more than their 15 minutes of fame for inflaming hatred, is that what we want to celebrate?
For Jewish people it is the beginning of a New Year, for grape growers in California, it’s the beginning of harvest, is it just possible to have a NEW Beginning where we remember that we may have different beliefs or skin color yet underneath, we are all the SAME. Can people of all faiths and political parties come together to remember that the success and health of the nation is up to all of us to cooperate not negate?
This is my first writing on social issues, perhaps that’s a new beginning for me. I do not want to add to rant and rancor, rather it is to appeal to the heart of us all. What can I do to add to the heart? What can you do?
