The wind is howling,
the rain is driving;
it is warm,
the words are flowing.
growing into the idea
that love can conquer all,
which we need
in these unstable times,
when there is so much
hatred, suspicion and
misunderstanding,
tearing the world asunder,
destroying people.
What we need now,
and fast, is love,
understanding,
empathy,
and peace.
Empathy is truly needed… this value is timeless and with no boundaries regardless of creed, race, color, gender, religion, political affiliation, and geography!
Hi Ompong, I see all these qualities, and especially empathy as being Godly characteristics, which it is part of our duty on Earth to learn, follow and implement. If we could all try to follow these the world would a far healthier, peaceful and wonderful place to be. Best wishes and blessings, Charles.
This is excellent….thank you.
