Does Somebody Out There Need a (((Cyber Hug*))) ?
-----------------------
You really should learn originality one day, or at least learn to understand the origins of your symbolic swipes...
* A virtual hug offered to participants in an online, or instant messaging conversation, symbolized by enclosing the recipient's name in multiple sets of parentheses representing arms embracing. ie/ (((hugz)))
Life is Tough;
Be Tougher.
Gimmicks don't last;
but people who LOVE Other People do!
(like.... literally.)
Violence Begets Violence Begets Violence Begets Violence Begets Violence Begets Violence...
(((Hmmm... how can we end that cycle? Who dares, and desires, to bring the never-ending violence to a halt? )))
After the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they came together in one group. And one of them, versed in the Law, tested him by asking: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment.
The second, like it, is this: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’
Sure beats a tween gesture,
especially an in-group hug, or selfie hugs practiced simultaneously...
=======================
Eh. This too shall pass.
Just like the purple finger-paint, and the green blog banners...
Not substantive so much, just... schlocky.
People might buy in today, but it doesn't last like true, life-saving Change on the ground, that overcomes superiority myths and lifts people... There really is no Quick Fix, or true change without repentance and forgiveness.
CHANGE, my friends, will take Real Work. When will you be up for that, do you think? Get over yourselves already, and think of the true sufferings of others today?
Jesus counseled: “Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those who persecute you.” (Matthew 5:43-45) Paul gave similar counsel when he said: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.” (Romans 12:20; Proverbs 25:21) In ancient Israel, Jehovah gave his people laws instructing them to help their enemies and even their enemies’ animals. (Exodus 23:5)(You really don't have to be a martyr; Jesus of Nazareth** taught me that. )

(Never forget?)
"Violence of man against man is in contradiction to every religion that merits the name, in particular the three monotheistic religions," Pope Francis said, referring to Christianity, Judaism and Islam. "Every human being, as a creature of God, is our brother regardless of his origins or religious belief."
