Never Forget...
Authored by: masodo on Friday, October 30 2015 @ 01:33 PM EDT

I was a child when JFK was killed and was sitting in class - 3rd grade. The teacher solemnly announced the reality of the situation. I seem to remember thinking "how could that happen?" and "Why would anybody want to kill the President?"; "I thought we are supposed to love our President." I wondered if we all had to go to his funeral and I felt so very bad for my teacher because this seemed too much for her to bear.

Ironically I suppose, my thoughts of violence prior to that time amounted to playing Army or Cowboys and Indians. At least that is what our cap guns were for. I always knew there were bad guys and good guys. I had to mature many years to realize that many of the awful deeds of mankind have happened in the name of peace.

In the final analysis one must accept that evil exists and fight back with the only weapon ever known to have any effect in thwarting the aims of the evil doers and that of course is Love. Love is not just for hippies. Love is the cure. You cannot fight any war in the name of Love.
