With Christmas upon us, I had hopes that we all would be together in love and friendship. Instead, we’ve been torn apart by the suspicion and personal demons that, I know now, were always there just under the surface. It’s stunning how easily someone’s life and livelihood can be destroyed when others engage in gossip, half truths, and outright lies. Cutting down easy targets is a common, consequence-free sport today, requiring little conscience or ethical rigor. As a child whenever I passed judgment on others, my mom would often caution me with, “What if you’re wrong?” The damage to me is done, and deep. But I would ask that you put more thought and heart into your next opportunity to do real harm to others. With Christmas upon us, I think of you, of us, with love and truly wonderful memories. For that, I am grateful.
