Hate is Such a Terrible Way to Live

I'm growing weary of the way my country deals with the very real pain of hatred--Tonight, I saw these beautiful cherry blossoms on the ground, amidst the cracks and I thought of the people lost to such tragedy in my state (and hometown).

Love has to prevail. Sanity at the very least.

FAV! Not only for the photograph but for the message it illustrates !

This is a perfect representation of a broken nation - sadly, I told my mom just yesterday that I doubt I will ever be proud to be an American again.

a poignant image and message

@linnypinny Ditto what Lin said, though my mother is no longer around to say it to. Heartbreaking. Potent image

[Issi Bannerman]

A very poignant image, Daryl.

[Pam Knowler]

Really thought provoking Daryl!! I am shocked at what is happening in both our countries. Very sad!

[Ivo]

Very nice.

[Richard Sayer]

Ah, Daryl - such a wake-up call image... but I fear we're all going to hell on a (turbocharged) handcart!

[Peter H]

How very poignant.

[Alison Tomlin]

Yep, its not just in your country. Apparently patriotism is waving a flag, not loving your neighbour. Anyway, I imagine these blossoms are my friends.

[Susan Klassen]

Beautiful blossoms in such a dark space.

I can never get my head around hatred , we should embrace diversity and inclusion . Social media and keyboard warriors make it far too easy to spread hatred.
It is good that 365 has lots of love and respect among the community. Stay safe and strong daryl
