The Difficult Path

This entry begins with the "largely deserted path" that concluded the posting four days ago on January 4.  On this path, will one find the satirists that make fun of someone else's beliefs and those who intend to silence them? Together are they not children of God who have the Free Will to choose a pen or a gun to express themselves, perhaps not so wisely by being self-righteous, judgmental, unforgiving and unloving against the teachings of Christ Who taught by example by dying a sinless death with humility, forgiveness and love?  If satirists [1] can stop satirizing and uplift others [2] rather than taunt their beliefs and killers can stop killing and celebrate lives with others rather than end them, this world would be a better place.  The path to peace is not easy and all too easily ignored not only by the participants, but also by the commentators and the observers, who, too, can be self-righteous, judgmental, unforgiving and unloving.


[1] I am certainly capable of satire and sarcasm but have tried to minimize their use and regret that I had used them in the past.
[2] Cartoonists can emphasize the morality in Islam which can be found here: http://www.islamweb.net/emainpage/articles/134385/morality-in-islam
