Loving in a World Full of Hate

Empathy. Kindness. Love. THOSE are the things that will change this world. Those are the traits that will end an era of hatred and oppression. Negativity cannot be driven out through harmful protest or violent actions and nobody is ever heard when yelling. President Trump was right to say that we should "Make America great again", because we should never stop striving to make our country great. But we do not need the president to do that. It is our job as people to make America great again.

We have all seen the news headlines, the blog posts and the pictures of supremacists and racists roaming the streets in hopes to rid the country of what they don't like. But don't let their hate ignite hate in you. Keep loving and showing compassion. It takes immense amounts of strength to be kind to someone who you believe does not deserve kindness. 

So be strong. Do not fight fire with fire - do not fight hate with hate. Use the goodness that is in you to pull the goodness out of someone else. Through love, anything is possible.
