While watching the news coverage from Las Vegas today I thought about our confrontation with pain and despair.   In my binary mind I think we really have two choices.

Give in and go down a road of misery and contempt.

Or.

Pull those close to you inward and be kind to any and all people you interact with.

When you feel overwhelmed in a world that seems to be sinking fast, recall the words of Mohandas Ghandi: “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Fight evil with kindness.

Fight apathy with empathy.

Fight inaction with advocacy.

Don’t give in.  Be the change.
