To those that choose hate, I wish you love.
To those who choose anger, I wish you calm.
To those that choose retribution, I wish you find the healing power of forgiveness.
To those that choose violence, I wish you awareness of the damage it'll cause.
You have a choice. We all do - each moment of every day. Choose love for yourself and others. Choose to find understanding in the midst of confusion. Choose friendship in lieu of a solitary existence. Choose progress instead of a stagnant life. Choose hope instead of despair. Choose a non-violent response instead of harm to yourself or your fellow spirits. Live a life full of unconditional love and understand that we all have a choice.
I seek answers to even the most difficult of questions. Even though I'm disgusted and heart-broken when others cause unspeakable violence I choose to ask the why's and the how's. Why would anyone make such a deplorable and soul-damaging choice? How can we move forward so that we overpower the hatred with unconditional love?
Call it religion. Call it spirituality. Call it naïve or weak. Call my viewpoint what you will, but I will continue on making these choices. Because maybe, just maybe, someone finds comfort, inspiration or hope in what I write.
