United we stand, divided we fall

United we stand, divided we fall

There is an answer to the mass shootings
There is an answer to the pain and misunderstanding we all feel
It’s actually quite simple
It won’t cost you a thing
It’s something you can do today without anyone’s permission or help.
Find that person who is alone and sit with them
Listen to them
Empathize with them
Love them
Bring them into your world
We all encounter or know people who sit on the outskirts
See them
Honor them
People that are respected and loved, who feel they are a part of community, do not act out against those communities that embrace and value them.
You have the power to change the world every day
Ignore the person who is struggling and in pain and we will continue to struggle with pain.
Embrace the person who is struggling and in pain and you will abate your struggling and pain.
Help them move through their pain by valuing their essence.
Allow them an opportunity to see their self worth through your eyes.
Envision a world without a dogmatic adherence to religion, creed, color, culture, sexuality, or nationality.
Surrender your righteousness.
United we stand, divided we fall
