Anyone important person who speaks out for peace, harmony and an end to hatred is usually murdered. Those in charge of things, the people behind the curtain, so to speak, do not want peace, harmony or an end to hatred, that’s why they keep it going. I think people are aware of this but sometimes I’m not sure. It is a DANGEROUS thing to be on the side of peace and the cost is often your life.
I read this and shake my head. We seem, on a global scale, to be losing our sense of wisdom and now have to listen to Mr Trump and people cheering him on as if he was talking common sense.
These words never lose their poignancy, beth. Our challenge is to live them – really live them – even in light of those we consider the most vile by words or actions.
Just when I despair at everything I’m seeing in my social media newsfeed (except for a certain Dad contest ahem), I come here and find exactly what my soul needed. Thank you.
I do think we have some great people in the world at the moment the problem is we rarely appreciate them in their lifetime.
As for Trump, it’s amazing to see him getting any air time when he is so off the wall.
Lovely quote as always Beth. You’ll have to come over here to trace your ancestry, or maybe just enjoy some craic and we’ll all pretend we know your relatives.
I was delighted to read that news. You can always contact me via the ‘contact me’ on the blog. Hopefully our Summer will behave for you. Keep me posted.
Amazing how many of those who preach equality or peace meet with an early death. The people have a voice and they must use it to bring peace, respect, love, and tolerance to the World.
In the 60’s we had a generation of people who didn’t believe in war, any war but especially the Vietnam war. They left the country to avoid call-up but were known as draft dodgers.I think that people disagree with the wars in the Middle East and it’s time to make sure politicians represent their views and bring the military home..

Differences it seems are often contrived by those wanting something for themselves, by pitting us against one another.
