This man will make decisions, advance policy, operate as the Nation's CEO and Commander-in-Chief; in those roles he will impact the lives of virtually every person living on the planet. As Americans, we are faced with a choice; Anger and hate are easy because they are intuitive to our human nature, such familiar friends.
May I suggest a road less traveled? Paul charts a different, counter-intuitive, course for us in his letter to the Church in Galatia.
Galatians 5.22,23... "22...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
Against such things, there is no law; not Common, not Statutory, not Constitutional, not Sharia. These virtues are a starting place that point us to the truth about the Universe we can see, but not fully experience; the world we can experience, but not fully understand and ourselves...with hearts so desperately sick, who can know them. People who live in glass houses surely should refrain from throwing stones.
Don't give in to anger, bitterness, vitriol or payback. Choose "fresh fruit."
Shalom L'Chaim.
Live it well...bN tGit
