Kindred,
Sad. The news is often tragic.
The blame is often on hatred, systemic problems of racism, xenophobia, religious xenophobia or religious bigotry, homophobia, sexism and other forms of hate.
But from where does hatred stem?
Fear.
Insecurities.
Sin.
These fears, insecurities, sins cause irrational attachments to power and control; and the blame on anything and anyone, but the self, in order to avoid confronting these fears, insecurities and sins.
Do we confront our fears, insecurities or sins?
Recognize, address then deal with them in a healthy and constructive process.
Systemic problems remain systemic as long as we fail to recognize, address and deal constructively with our fears, insecurities or sins.
Until we bravely face our fears, insecurities or sins, we will never move beyond the hate.
