“Live and let live” means we all try to be very tolerant in the various communities we live. When we walk down this road of compassion and tolerance we see that the inequities of society have left deep dysfunctional pitfalls in our path. WE have to be always mindful that tolerance can lead to “oh well” – apathy; which leads to “I didn’t do that” – denial; which ultimately leads to enabling or saying “it’s not my problem” or it’s someone else’s anger. The most important thing regardless of how hard it gets, is that when we stop standing up to abuse – we give it” license” or permission to hold us hostage to the darkness and continued abuse. It can also turn our goodness backwards leaving us frustrated and with a sense of hopelessness – especially when it is in our own families, friends and within our communities.

Will share more information as it becomes available…
