The hypocrisy of hate: sending love to Pittsburgh
HATE IS CHEAP AND EASY.
(suggested listening while you read: ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon)
It’s a shortcut through life that only leads to death; whereas love is a costly, long and difficult road, but at the end of it is life abundant.
When I hear about incomprehensible and condemnable events like the one that took place at the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue last weekend my reaction, like many others, is to think, “How could they? How could anyone be that twisted, evil and consumed by hate? How could someone become such a broken coward that they gun down innocent lives while screaming, ‘All Jews must die!’ in a house of worship during a baby-naming service?”
