There is a lot going on in the World this year. Last night the world was met with the news that Osama Bin Laden was killed. I seen a lot of people rejoicing on facebook and I wasn't entirely sure how to take this. It's a bit unsettling, to be so happy about the death of another person, no matter what they have done. Then, I think maybe it is because I was not personally effected by the events of 9/11.... but, it is still a bit unsettling, and maybe cocky? to be so excited....
I found two quotes that put into words what my soul is trying to say here...
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
and from last night...
"I hope Bin Laden's death brings a sense of justice to those who lost loved ones on 9/11, and I'm grateful to those in our military etc. who worked so hard to find him. I hope whatever destructive influence he still had is now ended. That being said, however, the celebrations outside the White House seem naive to me. Tonight is a night for sober and mature reflection, not glee." - Marianne Williamson
So I can only hope that healing will occur, that the conspiracies, controversies, and apparent chaos will settle, and that new positive energy will be ushered in. The world is definately changing! I hope that we can all see and feel positive changes unfolding before us.
Peace be with YOU
