We Are All Human Beings, Yet We Can't Seem to Live Together in Peace. Why?
Today the newspapers were filled with talk of possible subway attacks by terrorists in New York City subways. This is also the holy week of the Jewish New Year and also the beginning of Ramadan, the Muslim holiday. Two groups of people celebrating the richness of their religions, two groups of people seeking to join with God, and yet we live in a world that seems so riddled by hate between peoples as our nation engages in a war against terrorism.
Why can't we come together? Why does there have to be such hatred when all people basically seek the same things -- a sense of security, a love of family, a love for children, a dream of a better future.
Why must we wake up in the mornings to news about deaths caused by one group killing another, by threats of disruption of our normal life? Why does God allow is to happen? Why do we, his people, allow this to happen?
Do you have the answer? Please write to me.
