Heart disease is a terrible thing.
The tragedies of this past week show the extent of our country's illness. Those tragedies anger all of us, as they should. The killing of two black men in Louisiana and Minnesota, and the killing of five police officers and wounding of seven in Dallas, are inexcusable.
It's a disease of the heart.
The antidote? We must:
- Value ALL human life
- Accept differences
- Teach children to love and honor people
- Dialog with others, regardless of mindset, color, gender, nationality, religion, or political persuasion
We don't have to agree, but we must interact peacefully and respectfully.
Heart disease is a terrible thing.
