Love and Forgiveness will Heal our Political Turmoil and Drive out the Hate

Love and Forgiveness is what we lack -
it is the only thing that will Heal our broken lands.

It will Heal us from this political turmoil, from this madness.
But each of you must look deep within and find it in your Hearts.

Respect others and find Understanding for them, for their struggles.
We all are suffering. We all need Love now more than ever.

Forgive our enemies of their trespasses and offer Hope to the downtrodden.
Try not to condemn anyone, even those who do Evil,
for they know not what they do.

For we war not against man, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Love your enemies, do good to those that hate you, bless those that curse you, and pray for those who persecute you.

Do not be overcome with evil, but instead overcome evil with Good.

I don't believe in taking Joy from the misfortunes or misery of others - even if they are my enemy.

I've learned enough from hardship and misfortune in my own life to know it's just not Right. I can't wish it on anyone and I cannot laugh at anyone who suffers, no matter who they are.

I refuse to contaminate my mind and my Heart with anymore anger or hatred. I pray that others can learn this without having to go through what I've been through. No one deserves to suffer, not even the worst among us.

We need Healing, we do not need any more hate.
Please learn to Forgive those who have hurt you.

Believe in yourself, stay Faithful that what is Right will Triumph.
Persevere through these Tribulations, work hard and never give up.
There is nothing you cannot accomplish!
Focus on your Dreams, and fight for Happiness through all these tears.
Be Strong and keep Faith.
Share Love from your Hearts,
and Wisdom with your Minds.

And though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death - I will fear no evil, for God is with me.

I don't care if you flag or star or reply to this thread.

But I do think you should go Hug someone and tell them you Care.

And even if they reject it,
still tell them how much you Love and Appreciate them.

Find that Lost Soul who needs you the most.
They will never forget what you do for them today.

Bwahahahahahaha. Id dig your optimism....it offsets my dark pessimism.

There is no political turmoil. To put things in perspective, a US Carrier does 1,000 or so sorties (flights) a month. In a year, on average, a couple planes crash on the flight deck.

Now, if one did not know this and only heard about one plane crashing they would believe, wow the US Navy has a real problem when they in fact do not. For one, it's less than 1% of all sorties that crash. Second, the US is the only country that attempts sorties at night. It's dangerous. The truth is they have almost no problem.


Now, think about how many towns in the US and the five thousand plus Walmarts in those towns. Don't even factor in the thousands of other major stores....Target, Cosco, Sams, Kroger, etc.

So, out of thousands of stores, thousands of towns, a small number of toxic events happen. It's tragic without question but there is no turmoil. There are going to be some "plane crashes" now and then. Especially since the public can own guns if they choose. The media however warps the whole situation for political points.

You can open any thread on this website, or read most any other social media website (FB, Twitter, etc), and you see people arguing vehemently, foaming with anger over each other's unacceptable opinions.

You can visit people in the cities, speak with them, and learn of their struggles.
You can visit anyone anywhere, and hear of their losses and troubles.

This has been going on for a long time.
That is turmoil enough for me.

And it's pretty political, no matter if it's divorce, debts and taxes, or a shooting.

My message today is for everyone no matter what's going on in their lives right now. And it speaks volumes of what I think and feel about what matters to me.

Even and especially if I'm only talking to that .00001% that needs to hear it.

Would you call what is happening in Venezuela political turmoil. What about inner city Chicago or Baltimore. Apparently it's not according to the media because they rarely discuss it.

They do discuss though a couple of tragedies that seldom happen to the point of exhaustion and point fingers at one person entirely. They create a perceived turmoil instead of focusing on the real turmoil.

To this day, I have yet to see one person wearing a MAGA hat, met or seen any KKK, Antifa, BLM people. Where is all this turmoil sweeping the country because it's like a damn ghost from my vantage point. The media however says it's all over the place.

I'd consider what's happening everywhere worldwide turmoil.
Even as far back in history as we can see.

You are projecting your bias onto me.
I'm not the mainstream media.
I'm just a guy speaking the Truth as I know it.

So you're admitting there is a real turmoil?

Well that's the turmoil I'm talking about.

Sadly "hate" for the opposition is their reason for living. They thrive on political turmoil; love and forgiveness isn't even remotely considered.

I didn't say anything about MAGA hats, Antifa, the KKK, or BLM.
That's why I think you're projecting your own bias onto me.

Which makes sense.
You are experiencing cognitive dissonance.
Your dissonance manifests as projection.

I am sorry for whatever you are going through in your life, and I want you to know that I care and will always be here for you to talk to if you need a friend. I'm not just saying that, I sincerely mean it.

I know what it's like to suffer, I'm going through a lot too right now. I broke my spine and have a lot of financial and legal troubles, I miss my kids and Hope to see them again some day.

So I want you to know I Love you and will always be here for you if and when you need someone to listen. I will try my best to understand and just be your friend. If you want to make jokes and laugh, we can do that. If you need a shoulder to cry on, it's here.

So if your enemy thrives on hate - you do what?
You try your best to Love them.
You Forgive them.
You seek understanding and to help them.

Blaming them isn't helping is it?
Condemning them?
It doesn't work does it?

I do know what does work, and what does help.
That's why I wrote this thread today.
To share the real solution.

There is almost no turmoil but it depends on how one wants to quantify it. If someone wants to deem turmoil any outlining negative incident then that is their perception of reality. I sprang my foot yesterday, limping a little not a big deal, but, I could see how someone could turn it into a massive crisis.

You need to open your mind and expand your view.
Just because you do not see the suffering of others does not mean it doesn't exist.

I know it exists, I've been out on the streets, in the jails, in Hell.
I have seen so many people suffering.

Consider yourself very fortunate to be blind to this sad reality that exists all around you.
I am thankful for you that you do not know of it.
You are so Blessed and you don't realize it.

Count this Blessing and be Thankful.
