Get Past The Anger

Waaayyy too much talk of war going around the media. But why does it only seem to be coming from the talking heads and politicians? Most people I interact with are in no way supportive of war or retaliation bombings or killing more people. Thankfully, most of my friends realize the folly that path -- shifting the pain and suffering and death to another country solves nothing. In fact, it would only create more people who have intense dislike for the USA and that is something we certainly don't need to encourage.
Stop and THINK. Think hard. Feel those feelings, deep in your heart, about the tragedy in NY? Do you really recognize them? You do, on some level, you do. Those feelings are why we cannot reciprocate. Get past the anger. Engage your heart and your brain. Make sure the heart part is really functioning, ok? Please?
