Justice and Love

The topic I had planned for this month has changed multiple times now because of so much chaos and conflict going on in the world right now. The world seems to be in shambles with the chaos of the coronavirus, and now…racism.

But in my opinion, it has gone beyond racism. This is not just a flaw in racial equality anymore. This has become a flaw in leadership. In the government and the law enforcement in employs.

Any decent human knows there’s no justifying the brutality and inhuman action taken against George Floyd, along with the violence that has followed since.

I honestly don’t know how or what to write to do justice the…need for justice, but at the same time, the need for love. How different would our country be right now if everyone’s utmost priority was to love those around them?

We all want justice for George Floyd and others, but what if instead of justice, what the world needs is love?

I say that, though I also get angry, full of adrenaline and blood pumping and hungry for justice when I see things like the footage of George Floyd’s death, the news about all this continuing and getting worse, and Trump’s brilliant idea to solve the violence by bringing in the national guard, which only adds to the violence.
