Simple concept

I think most of us remember the wwjd bracelets and bumper stickers. Even though it seems silly or cheesy and I myself may have made fun of them a time or two the foundation for peace and happiness lies in that simple concept. Not just what would Jesus do but what would Gandhi do what would Muhammad do what would Buddha do what would Martin Luther King jr do? We have many good examples to go by. Would any of them hate, turn his back on, or kill somebody because they live differently, dressed differently, or worship God differently? I believe they would talk to people, show them love and offer guidance.

We have to ask ourselves does the way I think, act, or treat others benefit mankind? Do you hide behind ignorance and take the easy way out? Do you want and promote equality among everyone or just among you and your kind? Do we really want peace and happiness for all? We are all human made imperfect. We are not supposed to know all the answers. Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of Things Not Seen (Hebrews 11:1). The things you think are right are most certainly incorrect in some way. Having differences should promote healthy debate and intelligence not hate and ignorance. Have open dialogue listen to each other and respect each other for our differences. God made us all unique not so we can be divided but so we can learn from each other. Don’t take the easy way by hiding behind close-mindedness and bigotry. If you were wrong by somebody don’t wrong someone else. That is a cycle of negativity and evil that will continue until it’s stopped by good deeds andn love.
