Why Hate?
Today is a day that makes me question why I do what I do.
I serve a wonderful community of people but watching this message of hate on several fronts today is saddening.
Are we better off Osama is not on this earth? Probably.
Am I glad that people DIRECTLY affected by 9/11 have closure? Definitely.
Do I applaud our military for doing their job well with no civilian casualties? HECK YES!!
But look at your Twitter and Facebook feeds today….
People are openly celebrating death. People filled the streets of DC and NYC last night celebrating the death of a man.
I’ve also seen people direct hate at people/entities that are not Osama bin Laden.
People are making fun of Republicans and former President Bush because Obama killed Osama rather than him.
People are mocking Fox News and indirectly the people that work there.
People are using the death of Osama as justification for why their own ideology is correct.
I was flipping through tv last night and I saw Fox News treating the event like Christmas. I saw CNN use it as a way to enforce the war agenda. I don’t know how NBC or CBS spun it but no one watches them anyway (I kid I kid).
Essentially, the death of one man is bringing to the forefront the true feelings in the hearts of many (some even people I know) and it makes me hurt.
Because if all these people are so filled with prideful hate….what’s the point?
Love conquers all. Set your mind on things of heaven and not of earth.
