It’s about all of us
Enough. Way more than enough. Stop the hating and shooting and killing!
Stop the polarizing thinking that separates “us” from “them.” It is all of us. We are in this together. Let us all reach out to one another in a manner of peaceful caring, with a willingness to solve problems, not in a rage of destruction. Let us be led, not by the catchy slogans of divisive groups, but by reaching within for our very best selves and reaching out for others, whatever those others’ race or religion or position in society.
We are us. We are humanity. We are all building the world in which we and our children and our grandchildren will live. Let us build a world in which all lives are respected and nurtured.
Carol Fleisig, Coarsegold
