What motivation is there to be won by taking?" So much to think about. I hope for peace for you.

Yet there have been so many outpourings of love and acceptance too. I guess that's what I see with you struggling to reconnect with your family. Denial and ignorance on her side, but such openness and love and generosity, even at such a personal cost, from you. Deep breaths. The only thing we can control is our own response. And from what I can see, yours is beautiful.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-33020041059590341362015-11-20T16:02:37.463-08:002015-11-20T16:02:37.463-08:00It's tough when there's conflict all aroun...It's tough when there's conflict all around us -- in the world, within our families, sometimes within our workplaces &/or homes. :( I'm wishing you at least some measure of peace too.

This part was very profound, and I'll be chewing it over the rest of the night: "One thing that continues to baffle is how insistent those who foster hate and anger are of their position. There's a certain pride they take in causing destruction and pain, as if it somehow justifies their own feelings. What they fail to ask is why there is this need to fight. What motivation is there to be won by taking?"Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-88337671712016156232015-11-16T09:56:54.856-08:002015-11-16T09:56:54.856-08:00I had family crisis coincide with news about Paris...I had family crisis coincide with news about Paris, too. It's hard. People have different reactions and mine was white hot anger.
