116. From my perspective I think an important question is how did Nelson Mendela, Ghandi,

Martin Luther King, the Dahli Llama, Elie Wiesel, Rep. John Lewis to name a few, find it in them to day in day out reach out to everyone with their message irregardless of how they were treated. I wish I had a tenth of the wisdom, patience and forgiveness. It's something I'm struggling with trying to understand.

I don't intend to spend any time worrying about sympathizing with bigots, but I am heartened by the rallies in Red States and activism. I think it's easier to protest in a blue state and it takes courage to stand up in Red rural areas.
It feels like there is a divide and conquer strategy on 45's side and the protests are showing that resistance is in every state. I'm trying to look at this all from a glass half full while realizing a torrent of egregious daily acts.

I think about history also. WWI's Treaty of Versailles came from a place of retribution perhaps a place of fear whereas the Marshall Plan helped rebuild nations even though they were not long ago enemies.

With that said we all need to have each others backs now more than ever.
