Editor,

These are crazy times. Is there a good answer? Read on and see what you think.

Just look at our own nation. Presently we are experiencing the crises of political upheaval, angry mobs and killings. We humans immediately try to figure out who to blame.

Joe Biden, as president, is of course, the chief recipient of blame. We also blame our GOP legislative branch of characters who are gripped by fear. This involves the great fear of the continuing Trump related attack process.  

What creates a well-functioning and peaceful nation? This, in my view, is a most critical question right now for each of us to consider. The answer comes from ‘the bottom up,’ not from ‘the top down.’ This involves me being fully aware of my own thoughts, words, and actions in this time of crisis. Am I contributing positively, or am I part of the problem? 

At the same time, it is necessary for our thousands of our state and federal elected leaders to be looking within themselves and getting honest with what is motivating their thoughts, words, and actions. The time is now.
