Will It Ever End?

I’m growing weary of the killing of innocent life.  It doesn’t matter to me anymore who is being killed; Christians, Muslims, or babies.  It all needs to stop.  It’s one thing to yell into someone’s face, but quite different to stand in a corner of a room and pick off folks running for their lives.  It’s one thing to disagree with someone’s faith but it’s way different when you burn down their church and kill those inside.  And it’s one thing to do something with someone else that happens to set in motion the beginning of a new life and quite another to suck its little body from its mom’s womb.

You see, unless we get our acts together and begin looking for the potential goodness in people instead of ways and reasons to hate, we are doomed to live lives filled withbdepression and regret.  I can’t remember ever regretting doing a kind act to someone different than me;  I really can’t.  We all have to begin to lives filled with sacrifice; especially to those we currently think as less than ourselves.  It has to begin with someone.  Why not me?  Why not you?
