Lady Gaga offers hope and a simple solution: Kindness. 
“The really fantastic thing about kindness is that it’s free. And it can’t hurt you. Or anybody else. It is the thing that brings us all together. In times of chaos and crisis what we tend to do is start pointing fingers at where we think the bad guys are. Where the evil is. We all start arguing. Everybody has different opinions about that.
Please do not forget… hatred or evil (whatever you want to call it) is intelligent. It’s smart. And it’s invisible. It is an invisible snake, and while it is planning to make its attack it is thinking to itself, ‘I am going to divide my enemy into smaller, less strong groups. And then I’m going to make them hate each other so that it’s easier to take them down.’ And as we’re all yelling at each other trying to find which group is causing the problem, evil is winning. All around us.
We need to shift the perspective and get rid of the labels: Gay. Straight. Rich. Poor. Mentally ill, not mentally ill. Gun owner, not gun owner, etc. We must get past politics and unite in our humanity. The solution is the only thing we appreciate in each other: Kindness. This must come before everything and you must operate relentlessly this way with everything you have.”
Brilliantly said. Thank you and Amen.
