Editor,
The killings in this country continue. And in this country, we pride ourselves in our freedoms. These freedoms can make it difficult for our nation’s control over malicious actions. Our freedoms do provide an avenue to those who have malicious tendencies to perpetrate horrible actions before they are stopped. Our ‘freedom factors’ of speaking and acting often prevents early and effective corrective and/or law enforcement actions with the perpetrators.
So, what’s the solution? What is called for? Is there a good answer to all this? I happen to think there definitely is. And it is not up to our government. It is up to each of us in our ways of thinking.
The mind is a powerful tool. How we think determines how we speak and act. As humans, we each have been endowed with the healing Power of Love. We need widespread discussions on how to change our minds from fear, anger, and harsh judgment to love, joy, and understanding.
Our powerful media needs to be writing and talking about this every day, encouraging us to use our minds for peace, harmony, and healing.
