“Heal the World”

I feel it; my friends do too; stress. Unrelenting, daily pressure in response to all the negative energy permeating our planet. Our world needs healing, and in the passionate pleas of Michael Jackson, “There are people dying if you care enough for the living. Make a better place for you and for me.”

Michael’s song is a poignant reminder that we are a community of souls and are charged with taking care of one another. When people feel it’s okay to turn their back on pain and suffering, we lose humanity.

Where we live in the world should not matter. What our religion or creed is should not matter. And this fabrication of race should indeed not matter.
We all could use some significant healing amid the chaos and hate enveloping the country. People are hurting and afraid, and we should be coming from a place of love, not hate and resentment.

Just like Michael said: “Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race.”
