Don’t underestimate the power of love

TO THE EDITOR:

So today, we find ourselves involved in a global war (whether of our choice or not) which our leadership has chosen, either to liberate people or an oil flow.

What is of great importance is realizing no matter what body we are in — in whatever country we are in — each of us feels. We feel heat and cold, fear, pain, hurts in our hearts and on our skin when we or loved ones are harmed. Everyone hurts when our bodies are violated by others. Everyone feels bomb effects, etc. We all bleed and seek caring, compassion and cures.

If we each can do nothing else, we can pray to God within each of our hearts for a quick, lowest-possible-casualty end to this human sacrifice and to guide us all to lives of liberty and justice for all, as our founding fathers so envisioned.

Mother Earth can provide for us all if people so allow. How can we healthily live when our air, water and soil are so depleted, raped and poisoned as to be unable to sustain plant, animal and people as we totally destroy our food chain with chemicals of all kinds?

It’s important to remember in this time the phrase, “No man is an island.” It translates to, “No country is an island.” Distance is no protection against what is injected, projected into the air.

How can each of us help? Ask, as we pray to God within our hearts, for a quick ending to hostilities. Send out loving blessing to all. Bombard our planet with love instead of bombs and destructive war devices to destroy.

Our greatest teachers and leaders used love. Jesus did. Ghandi did. Abe Lincoln did. What dignifies all great people? Love and compassion for all.

Too long have existed the “haves” and the “have nots” with each wave of “reformers” seeking to right their predecessors’ “wrongs” only themselves to fall into the negative ways as greed and lust for power overshadowed their God love.

Les Brown, motivator, at the end of his seminar, had a participant ask: “I heard you say to love your enemy. If we do, they no longer will be our enemy. Right?”

Les Brown just smiled and I felt God’s presence.

As said Tiny Tim, on the last page of Dicken’s “A Christmas Carol” – “God bless us, every one.”
