Even though I get on my soapbox a lot. (I even get called an instigator. One person called me an agitator, thats worse than just an activist.) But I actually try to remember we should listen to both sides, ALL SIDES. I remind myself, like Jesus said (Gospel of John), there is good in everyone. God is found inside the conscience of even the worst of our human offenders. I feel outrage has its place. I believe in nonviolent direct action, and I try to believe in love your enemies. In the Statement of the SCLC during the freedom summer era, the ideal was found of love will heal even the divisions of prejudice. No, I am not there yet. I have at times jumped to fast to judgment. I have forgotten that my enemies are not really enemies. But always, potential friends.
