One little thing led to a bigger thing and now it\u2019s a full blown mess. <em>Ayayay!<\/em> Where\u2019s the United Nations when you need it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to shout \u201cmake love not war\u201d and flash the peace sign when you\u2019re not involved. But when bullets whiz past you and you call in for back up, all bets are off. It\u2019s a fight for survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WWJD<\/strong><br>It\u2019s the perfect time to ask \u201c<strong>W<\/strong>hat <strong>W<\/strong>ould <strong>J<\/strong>esus <strong>D<\/strong>o?\u201d Well, he certainly had his enemies \u2026 enemies that actually orchestrated problems like \u2026<em> I dunno <\/em>\u2026 maybe something called a<strong> \u201ccrucifixion?\u201d<\/strong> He was compassionate with the little guys who had nothing. But, boy, did he berate the powerful and the entitled &#8212; calling them a \u201cbrood of vipers!\u201d He shared the story of the <strong>Good Samaritan<\/strong> teaching that sworn enemies (blinded by hate) should (instead) open their eyes to a fellow human being in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also the story of the prostitute who was caught in the act and dragged in front of Jesus. But instead of stoning her, as was legally required, he challenged them: \u201cthose of you who are without sin, cast the first stone.\u201d I imagine these macho self-righteous men picking up their stone. Then Jesus starts writing on the ground with his fingers (obviously the roads weren\u2019t paved). Upon reading (whatever it was he wrote), one by one (from the oldest to the youngest) they put down their stone and walked away. Then Jesus, alone with the woman (who was probably staring at the pile of rocks that should have been on top of her), asked her \u201cwhere are your accusers?\u201d She doesn\u2019t see anyone \u2026 except Jesus. Was Jesus going to cast the stone? Nah! To her surprise, he says \u201cGo on home \u2026 sin no more.\u201d <em>Oooooh!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because you could, doesn\u2019t mean you should. Just because it\u2019s the law, doesn\u2019t mean you cannot be compassionate. Just because my neighbor is a <em>complete, total, certified jerk<\/em> doesn\u2019t mean I should blast him off the face of the earth \u2026 maybe squirt him a bit with a <em>Holy Water<\/em> pistol \u2026<em> Wait! Wait! <\/em>Do I really have to do that?!<em> Boy! <\/em>It\u2019s tough when you\u2019re a Christian, huh? We are to follow the beat of a different drummer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>School Brawl<\/strong><br>Did I tell you that I got into a fight when I was a kid? Back in the days, the teacher would appoint a handful of the students to clean the blackboards, mop and wax the floors (yup! you better believe we did that!). I don\u2019t remember exactly why \u2026 I think my classmate and I were just in a bad mood \u2026 but I remember we were fighting over who got to use the coconut husk to polish the floor and we were rolling on the floor trying to out-wrestle each other. As in most fights, we both walked out of the room with our soiled white uniform shirts holding on to the little pride that was left. I remember my Mom looking at my disheveled appearance when I got home and asking me if I got into a fight. I lied and said I was just playing. I know she knew better but even I knew, at that age, we boys were sworn into secrecy. Seeing my classmate the next day was a little awkward. Did he report me to his Mom? Was I going to get into trouble? Fortunately, days of peace passed and we both surmised neither of us squealed. The next thing I remember we were hanging out and we never ever talked about it. To this day we are in touch and are still friends. In fact, I greeted him a happy birthday a few days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><br>Life is full of conflicts. The lines have been drawn between good and evil. No one wants to be on the bad side but obviously one has to be on the wrong side. Take your pick: Republicans vs. Democrats. Abortionists vs. Pro-Lifers. LGBTQ warriors vs. Rabid Homozexuals. Gun controllers vs 2nd Amendment Freedom Fighters. Those who hang their roll of toilet paper <em>over<\/em> vs those who hang the roll <em>under<\/em>. Difficult as it may be, I think we are placed here in this world to learn to deal with conflicts and practice tolerance and compassion. (Of course there still has to be justice and of course, we should \u2018sin\u201d no more &#8212; but that\u2019s for another story.) Once the stone is cast, both sides lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We aren\u2019t perfect \u2026 we may actually be wrong. And, as the brawl with my classmate taught me, foes can turn into our best friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is just me. TGIF people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raoul<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>Fight all your battles on your knees and you win every time.<\/em>&#8221; &#8212; Anonymous<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>Then neither do I condemn you<\/em>,&#8221; Jesus declared. &#8220;<em>Go now and leave your life of sin.<\/em>&#8221; &#8212; John 8:11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>On the contrary: &#8220;If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
