What Has the World Come To

I try to stay away from polarizing topics and politics. But today, today I cannot.

In the wake of the attack on Paris, it seems the world has lost it. Are we no longer safe in our streets? Can we no longer attend a concert without fear of being apart of a mass killing? Are we so paranoid that we close our borders?

I do not have the answers, and I am not sure how I feel about most of what is facing our world at the moment, but what I do know is that this world is so full of hate.

We hate others who look, sound, act and worship different. We fear cultures, religions, and races we do not understand. We judge others who do not share our same sentiments. We engage in hate talk with those whose opinions we do not share. We hate.

So, however you choose to react to these awful events last week, I would ask that you not react with hate.

Whether the US closes its borders to refugees or not, whether the people responsible for the attacks belong to one race, religion, creed or culture or not, whether you are Christian or not

Please stop the hate.
