Two Wrongs do not make a Right

My Love, My Love, we have to build a new temple. Our bodies are our temple and we have to renew our minds and bodies. We can't keep thinking that violence is ok. Nobody, nobody, has the right to take lives just to take them. We don't get to judge. It's not right what the police did, but it's not right what they did to the police in Dallas. We need change from within. This only helps to reinforce taking authority and using violence in any situation where they feel threatened just because they are black. I have faith, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Not all police are bad, but a large number are very skeptical of blacks in general and just afraid of black men specifically. The first thing is to shoot. We have to find a better solution. Desperation will make people do desperate things. The hate meter is rising in our country. The election has a lot to do with that. You have candidates that need to show strength, but not be aggressive and bullying. That just didn't happen. Hate, fear and just brute power are the actions that are sought out. It's like they need to hurt others in order to feel good about themselves. Dear God, help us to love, love, love. I love you and pray that you continue to have the focus and drive to keep doing what you are doing. I love you.
