Editor,

Our president, Donald J. Trump, is constantly, through his words and actions, giving voice to America and the world to some of the worst of human values, characteristics and behaviors.

This is not just about Trump. We each have the inner capacity to think, speak and act from fear, anger and attack. We also have the inner capacity to think, speak and act from reason, understanding and compassion. Everything starts from a choice about how we think.

The present situation in America is immensely dangerous. We have the president’s strong ‘bully pulpit voice’ constantly showing to many that thinking, speaking and acting out of fear, anger and attack is okay. Trump is stuck in this mindset.

The hope is that this mindset is so obviously dangerous that the great majority of us are being motivated to think more clearly along the lines of reason, understanding and sensible actions.
