Something to remember. Evil is loud, hatred is boisterous and the evil are always the one's with the screaming. The kind are silent, they mend with calm, with faith, with presence and with silence. It bothered me for a while, but much like life, we are conditioned to pay attention to the noise, when the silence surrounds us. Such is the way with kindness, decency, love and the Good Men Do. The good far outweighs the Evil, which is why Evil must shout.
The world feels ablaze with division, its flames fueled by fear and fanaticism. But fire, no matter how fierce, cannot burn forever. A greater force—gentleness, understanding, love—can quench it.
Though we may feel small before the tide of hatred, every act of kindness, every moment of listening, every effort toward unity is a drop of water upon the flames. And drops, when gathered, become streams that nourish parched hearts and weary souls.
Rest, then, in the certainty that no darkness is eternal. The work of healing continues, and you are part of it.
There’s something so raw and necessary about mourning—not just the suffering, but the capacity for cruelty we too often ignore. You put words to the ache many of us carry quietly. The line “their hatred will devour them” gave me chills—it’s a truth we all need to remember.
Thank you for choosing love, for using your voice to shine light where there’s darkness. Posts like this remind me that compassion is resistance—and kindness is never wasted.

Thank you Joe! Evil screams loudly in my country relentlessly. I fear for our future here.
