“If it does not harm the community, it does not harm its members.
When you think you’ve been injured, apply this rule: If the community isn’t injured by it, neither am I. And if it is, anger is not the answer. Show the offender where he went wrong”
Our community is injured right now.
Anger
Hatred
Vitriol
Pain
Our community is injured. It is almost as though we have forgotten that we are a community. Anger is what we see on all sides, but anger is not the answer. Show. Don’t tell.
Your homework for today is to go read Meditations 11.18. Meditate on it.
Like pretty much everyone, I am struggling to put yesterday’s events into proper perspective, to avoid anger at what is happening.
There is a way through this, if we want to find it.
