The recent Florida decision, has divided some people into two factions, black and white. Most of these people are not interested in the facts, and the legal process that was involved. One side sees a white man murdering a black youth, while the other side sees a white man defending himself. With any verdict, one side is obviously disappointed and the other faction relieved that the right decision was delivered.

Factions of the population that segregate themselves by race, religion and political affiliations will never be satisfied that justice was delivered if the verdict goes contrary to their wishes, even when given an excess amount of evidence. It is this mind of a distorted mirror that hinders the understanding of truth. It is a mind that is contaminated with greed and arrogance.

Only when we remove arrogance and greed can our minds become pure like water. It is this mind that does not separate: but it is a mind that brings people together. It is a mind that is like a new mirror, a mind that reflects the truth.

It is this hope of sweeping the evils (greed, arrogance, and self love) that we pray to God. It is with this special prayer that will save all mankind. Pray not to punish your enemies, pray to help them eliminate their evils (greed, arrogance, and self love).
