It's often fairly rough to turn one's cheek, but it's always correct to stand up for what is the right path to live one's life. We need to do both.
There may be violence ahead, but we all need a vision of what earthly and spiritual harmony looks like, or we will never get on a better path or find better ways than exist today.
Gandhi and MLK have showed us where to stand...where to dream!!
Come on India and South Asia help us bury the cultural wars of our forefathers, help us build a world with a conscience and positioned to do better than what this decade's violence has shown us.
Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Atheists, et. al need to envision having our children sit down together and we need to recall how we really need to raise them.
