How are we to make sense of the news each day - the inhumanity of some individuals around the world?
The disruption today is immense - so many lives affected... The people trying to get to weddings this weekend, the people planning to go on holiday/honeymoon etc, the people flying to see elderly and sick loved ones, possibly for a final visit? The grief being played out globally, because a handful of people wish to blow up airplanes, is unquantifiable.
I dream each day of a world in which we all value each other for our differences, instead of the hatred felt by some, towards those they disagree with. The only way to move towards this world is in tiny steps - for every single person to honestly evaluate their own behaviour towards those around them. Most people are not extremists, but they still harbour bad feelings towards people they don't understand. I am working hard to be kinder and more loving towards everyone, everywhere. If we all did this, think what could be achieved. If we spoke out everytime we heard any level of prejudice, could we change public opiniion, just as opinions about drink-driving were gradually reversed?
