Peace Stands Up

On January 6th 2021, I watched live TV as mobs attacked the Capitol Building in the USA. Afterwards, I wrote out my fears in this blog post - REPEAT PATTERNS. 

I hope you read it, but for now I'm copying how I ended that post in 2021 and putting it here.

"For the last four years, I've constantly tried to make those in the spiral see that this man they follow is a narcissist. Constantly said "He is dangerous." He is hate-filled. He twists the truth to suit his own agendas and he cares NOTHING for anyone but his own self. He fuels bigotry and fear of anyone different. He makes them the problem; the obstacle that needs to be overcome in order to make everything great again. In doing so, he has even made good people believe bad things. I know families and friends who have turned against each other because of this man's constant messages of hate.

And now, as the world watches the USA reeling like some boxer punch-drunk from too many blows, I'm saying it again. This man has done serious harm and he will continue to be dangerous until you tackle his legacy: the hate. 

 

His leaving the White House will change nothing until people on all sides return to seeing each other clearly, as individuals of the same country, with the same right to respect. If you cannot let go of hating THEM, there will never be a healthy US (play on words intended).

It's up to all of you now, Americans. Left, Right or whatever; all races, genders, religions. YOU are the country and only your strength and compassion can put it back together again."

I think we can agree that this time it's not just up to Americans? It's up to all of us now. YOU are humanity and only your strength and perseverance, combined with compassion, can put us back together again.
