Shocker,

Seems to me that you need a hug.

BTW - The God that I pray to daily (since my illness)
I'm sure is the same one you do as well.

You could possibly pray to Him more often to be healed,
and made whole.

If it's a concern then the question is, how do you change. Then after that, be the change you want to see in the world.

Three ways to fight against our inner divisiveness. 1). Be humble. If you don't think your God's gift to the world then chances are you won't look down on others either. One way to accomplish this is recognize your own faults and your own mistakes, and to get out of your head the labels idiot, dumb, or stupid. 2). Strive to have compassion. 3). Treat others the way you want to be treated.

There are prbabley other practical ways to get out of the habit of hating someone, but these are what come to mind.

Dear NNS,

Thank You and God Bless.

Hey Big Nana,
It's good to hear a positive side of things.
I hope that we can all learn to accept each other and get along as things change, and somehow keep our Aussie culture intact as well.
I wish I could be as optimistic as you.
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Foxy,
"Having new migrants arrive makes it difficult for
both the migrants and the locals. There has to be
give and take on both sides. But with time the
migrants, especially the younger generations will
generally take on the attributes of their host
country. History has shown us this happens."

I'd go along with the basic premise of that statement; that is until we faced the issue of Islam.

Do you TRULY believe that statement is true of Muslims, generally?
That Australian culture has nothing to fear from Islam?

AC,

Australia has a great deal to fear from fanatics and extremists
no matter who they are.
