A Moment of Peace to Ease Our Hardened Hearts
?6
Paul Brandeis Raushenbush
"The world is a mess," former Secretary of State Madeline Albright said last Sunday on Face the Nation. Her grave understatement about conflicts burning around the world could also be used to describe each of our spiritual and psychological states, which veer recklessly between outrage and despair.
We cannot let violence and cynicism win.
On Wednesday, July 30th at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time, The Huffington Post is inviting you to a event we're calling A Moment of Peace.
The world is in a very bad state. We are roiling with violence, and each day appears to be worse than the next. Ukraine, Sudan, Iraq, Syria and especially Israel and Gaza are being devastated by wars to which there appears to be no solution, and with every drop of blood shed, our hearts harden until they turn into stones to be used as weapons.
