My reaction to the killing of Osama Bin Laden was not elation, like I heard people describe on the news, it was not a chant of U-S-A either. My initial reaction was a feeling of shock and a prayer for peace.
There is a story about how Mother Teresa refused to march in an anti-war rally because she did not want to be a part of something called anti-war, but would join a march for peace.
I think of this story often and use the teaching to guide my decisions. Can you feel the difference in energy that comes from the term "anti-war" and the word "peace?" It is an essential distinction.
So, will the killing of Osama Bin Laden bring more peace to the world?
Perhaps not, but he's gone now and I will pray for peace.
Will you be pro-peace with me?
