LOVE KILLS HATE...

Terrorism causes Panic and Confusion in the depths of the Mind
It creates an instinctive dilemma - FIGHT OR FLIGHT ? ....
It causes helplessness and desperation..
It can drive and individual to commit acts of bad judgment very easily...

Miles and miles away I sit on another continent...YET,
It generates the feeling of terror in my gut...
It makes me wonder, of the intensity of
Its effect on those in closer proximity...

BUT IF
We are driven to hate by hateful acts then
We let those offenders accomplish something awful...
We can either Kill the terrorist and Let another be born...within ourselves...

Or
We could Kill Terrorism by working towards the eradication of HATE...
We hear Psychology speak of the Cycle of Abuse...
We Must destroy this cycle to ensure the survival of Compassion and the Spread of Love...

AND AS WE ALL KNOW
LOVE OTHERS We MUST But for that
LOVE OURSELVES We MUST FIRST
LOVE - of the Self IS UNDERSTANDING - Of the Self

LOATHING - Of the Self IS NOT LOVE - of the Self
Imagine If we let the outcome of terrorism be LOVE
Imagine that Guy who put flowers in the Muzzles of the Militants
Imagine what the Father of Our Nation was goin on and on and on About...
