I know too, too many people who simply cast their eyes downward, shake their heads and murmur, Yes it’s all so sad.
THIS is not the time to be sad; it’s the time to be OUTRAGED. Of course sadness and despair permeates our hearts (those of us who have them) at the unspeakable-ness of it, but what we should heed is this quote from Thomas Aquinas:
He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is IMMORAL. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice.
And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are IMMORAL as well as UNJUST.
Great stuff, gyp, thanks. And justice is one of the public faces of love (Cornel West). For me, it's justice and compassion -- the twin public faces of love.
