We are witnessing history. Headlines only tell part of the story.
The death of one man shielding his family from bullets and two others injured, in the assassination attempt that injured former president in a public event should rock every human to their core. As we reflect on a shooting that injured former United States of America president Donald J. Trump, we must recognize the greater impact of this moment.
Former president Trump was shot by a sniper in a televised outdoor event on Saturday, July 13, 2024. The shot pierced his ear, millimeters away from his brain.
Some say the president survived because he turned his head. Some suggest a light breeze veered the bullet millimeters from becoming a fatal shot. Many call it Divine intervention.
Evil Assaults Freedom
The former president, three American citizens were shot by a would-be assassin. If he were successful.
Their crime?
Exercising their right to free speech at an event featuring a presidential candidate.
- Freedom to assemble.
- Freedom to peacefully protest.
- Freedom of speech.
- Freedom of each soul to live their destiny – without interference.
Lessons from the Past
Many remember the image of a soldier standing in front of a Chinese tank in Tienanmen Square in 1989. The world was led to believe 200-1,000 protesters were killed. BBC reported in 2017 after new documents were released, at least 10,000 people were killed. One is too many.
10,000 humans were killed, relatively unknown to the rest of the world.
9-11 was an assault on American values and freedoms.
Evil acts suppress abilities, liberties and freedoms every human is endowed with. Directly and indirectly.
Liberty and Justice for All
The personal beliefs of a human MUST NOT matter in matters of liberty, speech, worship, assembly, peaceful protest, justice, and representation in decisions made about the future of a community, country, or humanity.
Responsible citizens have the right and responsibility to make informed decisions about elections, education, spirituality, and the future. An informed voter has listened to both sides. Civil debate and disagreement are essential to collaboration and solving problems.
Exchanging in dialogue with open hearts and minds may lead us to discover we share more than we disagree upon. We have the freedom to think for ourselves. What we seem to have forgotten is our commitment and responsibility to one another as humans, loved ones, colleagues, neighbors, and citizens of our respective nations, and of the world.
EVERY soul is equal in value, regardless of how they look, what their beliefs are, who they love, how much money they make, how much power or influence they have, or who they vote for.
An evil act against one is an act against all. An act of kindness is an act of love that elevates all.
Light and love eliminate darkness and evil.
Creating a Future Worthy of Hope
Every generation hopes to leave the world a better place than they found it. We have much work to do if we want future generations to enjoy liberties we have expected in the past.
Today I invite you to join me.
Let us use this moment to make the world, our country, and our lives better with intention to:
Be grateful the assassination attempt failed and President Trump survived to fulfill his destiny. Just as each of us should be free to fulfill our destiny.
Remember an innocent soul was killed. God bless his loved ones who mourn him. May he rest in peace.
Pray for healing for those injured physically from gun shots, and the millions of people emotionally shaken and still processing what they have witnessed.
Cherish and protect the freedoms and inalienable rights every human is endowed.
Be intentional about peace, harmony, and unity.
Love every soul you come in contact with today!
An expression of love for another is an expression of love for yourself and all of humanity.
We are all connected.
