Yes, there will al­ways be at­tacks. As long as hu­mans hate each oth­er be­cause of differences. 

It’s not about re­li­gion, or sex­u­al ori­en­ta­tion, or race, or gen­der. It’s about hate. 

It’s about hat­ing that oth­er dri­ver who cut you off or drove like an id­iot, which is us sometimes. 

It’s about hat­ing the per­son who cut in front of you in line. 

It’s about hat­ing that “bitch on the cell phone talk­ing so loud.”

“Hate,” how many times do we all say it each and every day? 

It’s about our own in­abil­i­ty to un­der­stand the oth­er per­son, to have com­pas­sion – em­pa­thy – for the oth­er person. 

To BE the oth­er person.
