In the comic strip Peanuts, Lucy asks Charlie Brown, “Why are we here on earth?” He promptly replies, “To make others happy.” Lucy ponders on this for a moment and then asks another question, “Then why are the others here?”

Have you ever in your whole life, called another human being by some crude, cruel label? All the ethnic slurs and horrors we human beings concoct?

At the beginning of the World War II, a few people called my daddy a “Nazi” for no better reason than Wyrick is a German name. It didn’t seem to matter much to them that his family had been in this country for several generations or that he had served in the United States Army in World War I.

And not too many years before that, on my mother’s side of the family, some of my Irish relations were called “micks.”

It is now the year 2009 and the word is out that ALL Muslims are bad. Will such mean spirited foolishness never stop? Will we never learn?

In short, never get in the habit about talking about “they.” Consider honing the habit of grading each individual as an individual. You will make some wonderful new friends that way and make a more wonderful world to live in.

I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another. (John 13: 34)
