"Let us not listen to those who think we ought to be angry with our enemies, and who believe this to be great and manly. Nothing is so praiseworthy, nothing so clearly shows a great and noble soul, as clemency and readiness to forgive." - Cicero
Oh that we may hear and heed the wisdom of all who have encouraged us throughout the ages to be guided by warm hearts and not hot-heads.
The Prayer of St. Francis comes to mind.
"Where there is hatred let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
And where there is sadness, joy."
Let's seek to understand one another.
With love and reverence,
