It is important that we have empathy but not to the enemies of basic truth. Those that know what is truly right and wrong must be cold bloodied to those that try to distort and destroy it. We can see this clearly in the battle between Hamas and the Israelite’s. One group fights to defend the innocent while the other uses the innocent to defend themselves. Yet in our daily struggles that line may not be as clear and we might give into something we know is wrong because we don’t want to hurt someone else. Those with strong convictions and cold blood will know when they must act even if the initially reaction will be met with anger and distress. They have the strength to endure the heat because they know that things will cool down and the truth will prevail in the end.
