This thought came to me a couple of days ago. You can agree or not but I felt the need to put it out there.
The forces of evil in this world are rarely very creative. It's always about the same things..race, religion, sex, money, and power. And we fall for it. Every. Single. Time. You see, what if the "enemy" is not Christian or Muslim, white or brown, gay or straight, Republican or Democrat? What if the "enemy" is the evil that we perpetuate by our actions toward one another? Because while we are busy posting snarky memes, calling each other names, and cutting ties with family and friends things like love and kindness and empathy and joy and compassion are slowly dying. All of humanity pays for that. As far as I can tell we need to keep moving toward the light by doing good, listening to each other, spending time with family and friends and caring for strangers one human being at a time. You don't have to invent the wheel. Look for places where good is happening and be part of that. The more good we put out there the less room there is for evil to grow.
