RE: Assassination;How do I express my anger productively?

Question

As a woman, as a mother, as a mother of a marine in Iraq,and an aunt to a niece in the navy, and a nephew in the Nat. Guard, I really thought the late p.m. showed promise and hope for democracy in Pakistan. How can we as mothers, and Americans show that we will not tolerate violence as an expression of anger?Is this really the price? To kill a woman and a mother? I am overwhelmed, expecially that some people think that this is no concern of ours. I am truly sorry, my heart goes out to her family and her country.

Answer 1

By writing your question, you have done about all you can do. Unless you are a world leader or celebrity, you feelings are among those of millions of people. Pray.

Spend your energy on things that you can effect.

The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
