Let There Be Love ❤️

Today is a really sad day. My little “brother” “mentee” and “friend” Malik Tribble was found dead in a black dodge car on Bmbrey street in North Philly; … killed and his body wrapped in a plastic bag and placed in the trunk of the said dodge car that was reported stolen. Violence is abhorred; yet we give ourselves the tools (guns) to carry out our wild intentions, and our world provides the stimulation and socialization that desensitize tge violence of killing e.g. “GTA”, “Baddies”, “Young and wreckless” and violent music dominate our purviews; we even  have leaders who exacerbate violence by politicizing the will to address it, and have all but abandon “love” which expresses itself in constructive and sacrificial means. Not a sacrifice of martyrdom or what suicide bombers may wrongfully embrace as theirs. Love does not kill it heals and does not mock and discriminate but provides hope and empowering ways to help to preserve life and not just a particular life or way. If we are focus on ourselves then we will loose the dynamism of our world and the love for oneanother. Nevertheless, we build walls that we kill ourselves to jump over. Let there be Love.
