Who are you?

Did you cry over the deaths?
Or did you thank God that some of our enemies were destroyed?
Did you mourn for the loss of civilians?
Or did you think the world is minus some extremists?
Did you weep with the families who lost loved ones?
Or did you celebrate this attack as an inroad of righteousness judgement onto a godless nation?


Who are you?

Perhaps a Middle Eastern citizen rejoicing over the death of capitalistic infidels on 9/11 sixteen years ago?

Or maybe an American citizen who this week rejoiced and proclaimed that any death of a Muslim in the middle east is a death of a potential terrorists?

Or are you a member of the global human race who weeps over senseless deaths, who believes violence only produces more violence, and one who longs for a peace that is made possible by loving an enemy.


"Any man's death diminishes me, because I am a member of mankind." ~ John Donne

(No Man is an Island)


"You're familiar with the old written law, 'Love your friend,' and its unwritten companion, 'Hate your enemy.'
I'm challenging that. I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst." ~ Jesus

(Matthew 5:43-44, The Message)
