Last night I had an argument with my sister about politics. We hung up in anger. In about five minutes I felt badly about what I had done and started texting some peace overtures. Why do we do this? We get so angry over politics. Everything is black or white. We won’t give an inch….and neither will they. What is the greatest motivator? Right – fear. What overcomes fear? Peace. How do we find peace? Peace has power – so we need to seize it. It’s a weapon against fear. It doesn’t mean you have to change your beliefs and agree with them – we just need to not fight about it. Things that we disagree on are not life-threatening. So seize the power of peace by responding first.
