Living in Fear

Hate and fear are destructive ways to view the world. From residential school, mass murder in Mexico, the Holocaust all the way to 911 much of the world lives with hatred and fear. But today on September 11th I believe we need to live by hope and love. To conquer violence with peace and to match hatred with love. It begins with the little things. How we thank the cashier at the grocery story, approach the stranger on the street, or respond to an angry driver. The little things create who we are and how we approach life. So today, with great respect for those who died, we remember 911 and pray for a more caring world. As the Dalai Lama has said, "my religion is kindness." Me too. TJS.
