Now, I know that there was some animosity he held towards, almost everyone on the planet. But he is also a testament to what holding on to that anger, and hate can do to a person. He is still a child of our Heavenly Father, he is still our brother. So, I do not understand why the world is celebrating the death of a soul. Yes, his works were evil; but, we do not know everything about his life, that would make him want to make war upon a person, group, or nation.
I say that this is a time for some reflection, on the past ten years, on our values and beliefs, on everything. I remember that after the attack on the World Trade Center how the nation came together, and for six months every one cared for one another. Now, questions on if the President was born on U.S. soil or not, if you don't like another person's music, or even the atmosphere of partying.
Heavenly Father, please help my brother bin Laden, to find the peace that through his actions, he could not find here in his second estate.
Jesus taught that we should turn the other cheek, be humble unto are fellow people, and not treat each other with contempt or derision. Look at the person on the bus, in the car next to you, standing in line; what is your first thought, is it kind, understanding, or one of rudeness.
Our society is slowing going down a road of no one else is right, but I'm right. Where political correctness is running rampant. I am not saying that all the changes that have happened in the past 200 plus years are wrong. Equality is good, Racism in our language is slowly going away. But, when did it ever become alright to hate another person, just based on the color of their skin.
