The phrase “better angels” came to mind recently. It was a term used by Abraham Lincoln in his first inaugural address. Speaking of the U.S. Civil War pitting the country against itself, he said, in part: “We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies.” He ended saying that we surely would again be touched “by the better angels of our nature.”
I’d like to think that today, in broader terms, we need not turn friends into enemies, nor lose our humanity in pursuit of political goals. We can learn much from history, not to mention critical thinking.
Calling all better angels.
A very timely post, and hoping that better angels in DC are able to help the small angels and their parents who have been ill-treated in our country.
Not too much critical thinking going on these days. Angels are needed, please stop by asap.
Wisely said.
Hopefully those better angels will be along soon Kay ✨
