A divided house cannot stand, love unites, hatred disparages. We reap what we sow. Now is the time for us to do an autopsy on our beliefs and ask ourselves: how does it serve us? We can maim, subject, obliterate, mortify and criminalize but is that how we want to define our legacy? We cannot erase our past but we can redeem ourselves in the present moment, for that is all we have.
