Sunday Sermon X IV - Sing, dance and take action...

Hi all

I'm seemingly less and less frequent on this blog of late. I think about writing a lot, but I'm struggling to create the time to be creative. My energies seem to be focussed on the physical rather than the literal. This morning though, things are pretty chilled in Chez les enfant, so here I am. I hope you're still there, not totally disbanded due to me lack of activity. 

The reason I've decided to ink this diatribe is because I'm reading my social media timelines in despair. So much hate, so much anger in people's tones. Proud to be angrily British? Proud to be complaining about everything we hate about everything we love (apparently). Happy to sit on our arses, making noises, spreading hate, doom and reading The Daily Mail and it’s vile right wing poison. Tommy Robinson and his following of the delusional & angry.

Surely pride should be taken from a nation of inspiration. From the Muslim immigrant Olympic and World Champion athlete who has just worn the flag with so much pride and grace?

You know, no-one is ever immortalised, or creates a positive legacy through the currency of hate. This nation, possibly the most globalised of all nations, the most deeply cultured place on earth, can only be truly great through love and embrace, through sharing and caring.

How can our children enjoy a beautiful life of their own? Through the spreading of murderous idle threats, media controlled by the government and greed at every level of society? No, our children need to have their innocence protected from the haters, whomever they are, whichever race, creed, religion or football team they claim to represent. Show them love, inspire them through creative, positive actions. Sing, dance and take action. Think freely, stand tall and be proud of everything you can help them become.

Hate cannot drive out hate, only love and do that. Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.

One love

Jez
