Life shouldn’t be as heartbreaking as it is today. We shouldn’t be at each other's throats, witnessing killing in revenge, witnessing one selfish attack after another. We don’t have enough time to regain our balance as one horrific global act after another scars our heart and makes us numb. Shouldn’t our days be framed in gratitude? Today, I stand before you with a resolute conviction—one that emanates from the deepest recesses of the human spirit. In times of difficulty, when the shadows of uncertainty loom large, we find ourselves at a crossroads. It is here that the choices we make, individually and collectively, become the compass guiding us through the storm. As we look to the guiding light, our true north, I believe we will be led through the darkest of times. It is here we will find the triumvirate of love, hope, and compassion. |
