Well, Cheney, that is a horrible thing and we do need to protect against it, try our best to prevent it, and be prepared to survive or overcome it if it happens. But I believe it is a small person that is limited to where that is ALL they can wrap their mind around. Leaders must have a vision of 'Better' not just a fear of 'Worse.' What is your vision of 'Better' - imagine it and then convey 'Better' to me.
In addition to the above 'down side' event, we need leaders that can also wrap their minds around how we can successfully live with diversity, love our brothers in all countries, respect those with diverging ideas, embrace those the would rather live in the hope of a better world instead of in fear of a worse world.
From the get-go, I have refused to live in the FEAR spouted by certain of our leaders. I still refuse to. Rather, I navigate from the perspective that I am driven to create a better world today than we had yesterday.
I challenge you to consider that it may be true that even if you end up in the same position, it is better to navigate from a point of positive hope than from a point of hopeless fear.
God bless good people everywhere that want to love God and ALL God's children and work out the details from that central point.
