Can We Lose This Now? (Coexist)


From time to time I see a bumper sicker going by this design, and using this one word called COEXIST. The reason this is brought up is that, the very ironic thing of what has been going on in Boston this week, with the recent horrible bombing attack towards the end of the 117th Boston Marathon and that it turned out the two suspects are from Chechnya and are Muslim as well. One of the sad things about what has taken place is that, one of the people killed, the little 8-year-old, attended a school which had up to people of up to 83 different backgrounds. Or another one of the victims killed came from of all places, China. Or that the third victim killed managed a restraunt in a city that had persons of all different backgrounds calling it home.

What is needed is not a bumper sicker by that one word, “coexist”, but the need to deal with the fact that each human heart can not only do great acts of evil, but also great acts of kindness. The answer is not doing a bumper with the word coexist, but to come to terms with the reality that we humans can very well do both.

One thought on “Can We Lose This Now? (Coexist)

  1. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of
    your website? Its very well written; I love what
    youve gott to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so peoople could
    connect with iit better. Youve got an awful lot of
    text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space itt out
    better?
