The King Arthur’s Round Table

ONE SCORE AND 12 YEARS AGO, A MAN PLEADED FOR HIS LIFE IN L.A., PERHAPS THINKING OR PERHAPS DREAMING, AS KING ARTHUR PREDICTHER MUCH EARLIER

Iam re ecting on these legends, or the recent past, and I have no choice but to connect to the most removed legends from our past, namely the inspired or enlightened moments. When the 13 colonies on our East Coast — riding on the shoulders of seven enlightened men, abided by that inspiration dra ed by Mr. omas Je erson — e Declaration of Independence of the United States of America — signed by 13 men who we call today “ e Founding Fathers.”

I am, of course, not Mr. Lincoln, much less Mr. Je erson, much less any paperback book writer. Just truly yours, humble servant, news writer, editor, founder, editor in chief and CEO of AL Día, Mr. H. Guaracao. I can’t help but evoke these legends from our recent and distant past. ey give me insight individually and now collective- ly to those of you who care to read this column to say, without hesitation, that Rodney King individualy— these lines—was totally right.

Furthermore, the same founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, omas Je erson, John Adams, or John Jay, who said for the ages: “Give me liberty or give me death.” ey were totally right when they decided that “united or die,” was best.

at meant either, we lose the war against those who hate or win the battle against them, with those who choose to love.

Wasn’t it Him, the One, who said to the disciple Peter, e Rock, e Strong: “Are you strong enough to love, Peter?”

In other words, the act of love is an act of courage, not one of weakness.

One somehow glimpses its truism. Caring to love demands courage. To hate and to spew hatred is as easy as throwing up a er a long night of drinking or drugs, or drinking plus words.

During a recent visit to Boston, while I was attending my daughter’s graduation, I heard from a driver this age-old wisdom:

“Sir, the man who hates is a nobody. He’s nobody. He needs to hate to feel that he’s somebody.” e choices are down to love versus death, love versus hate, to do versus undo. e choices are pretty clear a er re ecting on these simple Stone-Age sentences. We all choose victory, which is in peace.

So, what I’m telling you is that you shouldn’t mind those who hate because they will o set themselves without you touching them.

In other words, hatred is self-destructive.

So it is entirely up to you.

What is it that we should do today?

Peace and victory are what comes from the fact that we’re human beings and as such we can “all get along,” if we so choose.

¡GRACIAS!
