Ultimately, it doesn't matter what your religion is. It doesn't matter how much money you have, or don't have... This is about people being people. Showing love helps emotionally. And emotional health and uplifting is also needed in situations like this. Seeing the French flag on facebook profile pictures, and that whole thing is showing the world that there is an ENORMOUS population on this planet that will turn to love before anger and hate. Like you said let's "build each other up" because the alternative is horrible.
Well put! Hard pill for a lot of people to swallow, but I sure hope people start opening their minds and realize how simple it can be to accept others as they are
I LOVE U Eric .. I'm an Arab, Muslim n very RELIGIOUS person from Middle East . Really like an appreciate what u said . didn't agree on all points though BUT loved your message
Also pray for peace on and all. These past couple of days are ungodly and wrong. Enough with the evils of hate and war. Let us March til peace and justice reigns.
Eric I had no idea you were in the military. God be with all of our rainbow brothers serving in the arm services. You and the rest of our rainbow brothers and sisters in the services are in my prayers and as I say boldly. Keep your head up and watch out for all dangers around you. Be safe .
In this world, wherever there is light - there are also shadows. As long as the concept of winners exists, there must also be losers. The selfish desire of wanting to maintain peace causes wars, and hatred is born to protect love."
i agree greatly with the message you are sending but utimately to state that altruism is not prevenlent in todays world is jaded. there are people that do thing for no satisfaction, no benefit, and ultimately at the benefit of others. yes you can attempt to say that all people are selfish but ulitmately i know this is not true. call it a belief but I do not pray on someone's behalf just to hope that god or jesus will spare my minute sins. I pray for others because it is the right thing to do. I am personally not religious but I still pray for others when the opportunity arises. simply because it is the best and only thing to do in many situations like thiz one. i can honestly say that i do not pray for myself but instead the well being of others. we are not all selfish and some things are okay to be selfish with. this is unexceptable behavior. any human willing to spare another life is astonishingly aweful. i fear even finding a friend or family member dead. I do not wish death on anyone and someone that can negotiate that at the expense of being religiously ritous is wrong. there is no other way to put it. but we are not all selfish.
Just a side note: jihad could have multiple meanings in arabic, but terrorism is seriously not one of them. So could you guys please stop associating the two together! Jihad means exhaustion, in islam it would mean becoming tired for the sake of other people(like a doctor staying all day long in the hospital to help the ill, or a soldier staying for weeks on the borders to make sure no harm would reach the citizens) but it does not mean killing people to force your beliefs on the world. Stop calling them jihadists/jihadiis, they are just plain terrorists.
It literally means "struggle." You're right, there are lots of meaning to jihad which are not at all linked to terrorism but there are also those who have co-opted the word for their own ends.
Mmm struggle has a different meaning in arabic (i know cuz I'm arab) but I've seen other people saying that it means struggle and it's not very far but it's not exactly the literal meaning. Lol, i'm a conservative when it comes to words, if people keep changing what they mean by certain words it could grow up to a big problem. like a snowball effect.
human corrupts every religion and idealogy they can invent. BOTH Christianity and Islam can be the TOOL for salvation or doom. It's us who make the choice and right now, I choose to pray and read more about this endless cycle of vengeance, hatred and meaningless bloodshed.
