Wow! Turn that evil inside out…take the sin out and live. It is rare we can forgive an active threat or deed.

I agree GW. But sometimes it is hard to recognize evil, when we are doing things that we are told are in the name of good.

Hopefully, on Oct. 7 you recognized the pure evil that was wreaked upon thousands of civilians, some beheaded, others raped; some taken hostage; others burned to death. By the way, the initials 'HAMAS' mean 'Violence' in Semitic languages.

Thought provoking. How does one reverse the world? Is it as simple as undoing the evil? Hmmm I like this poem Gershon!

Well, not all that simple. And yet, 'To Life!'
