Though the problems of injustice, racism and violence are always with us, events and the news coverage that results bring one or another of them to the front. We give attention to that problem until a new one emerges in the news. Then off we go to attack that one. It’s really a game of whack-a-mole with social problems.
What if we put our energy into convincing folks that everything is sacred and that authentic love is the agent of transformation? Society can convince us to consume beyond our needs, to embrace vanity, to be comfortable with debt, to desire and to follow celebrities like sheep. Why can’t we be convinced to see the sacred and love fully as the basis for solving our social problems?
