An Interfaith Dialogue

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, joy, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.
​
     The truth is that I was taking a moment to think about my recent conversation via twitter, with regards to my word choice of preferring to say "The Jewish People" rather than "Jews". This was something that I learned in an earlier course that I took during my undergraduate years. This is the term that I prefer to use. The same is also true for using the term, "person of color", rather than "black" It is much more respectful, and it is the term that I prefer to use. This is the beauty of words, sometimes it is not what you say, it truly is how you say things. A single reaction can differ greatly , just by the choice of words.

     I was very happy to have a dialogue with those who are of a different faith than me, on twitter for the purposes of setting an example. More of these types of interfaith dialogues within the community are are necessary for the purposes of peace, prosperity, optimism, and for the war torn countries. I think that it is high time for peace. If we want innovation,  the cutting edge technologies, and progress, then we must also think about new ways, new avenues for resolve differences. Rather than to take up arms, and weapons that also contribute to the world's pollution levels as well, we must transform war into dialogues, to prevent wars and promote understandings. 

Dedication: The words of this being are dedicated to those who desire peace and to those who are in a position to make peace a reality. War is boring and so outdated, please help. :) My thoughts to share with love & kindness! :)
