I usually do not like to listen to mainstream media news. It is often quite biased and as my teachers and mom have told me, a phrase often used in the industry is "if it bleeds it leads." I just think that is sick and why websites like http://www.yesmagazine.org/ and http://www.dailygood.org/ are so important. But there have been some very recent tragedies in the news that have irked me. And I wanted to share with you what my opinion on the best course of action is. One word.
If everyone practiced empathy and compassion, wow just wow. So in leu of the recent events in Paris, Lebanon, Kenya, Mexico, and Japan,
Let us remember that we are all humans, we all are united in our differences, and human kindness is what can bring us together.
Now is the time for a choice
Love or Hate
Many are choosing to blame the attacks on innocent people and want to fight fire with fire
But as Gandhi said, "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
So choose love. Whether that means donating to a relief fund, or banishing stereotypes.
You have power. Use it for good.
