Prince was an outstanding musician, an individual who had obtained the highest in admiration from his peers, had millions of adoring fans, wealth beyond imagine who was genuinely considered a real nice guy. In his hometown of Minneapolis, he was simply adored.
Sadly, media reports now indicate that Prince was addicted to pain killers, which most likely initiated his demise. For whatever reason, it appears Prince was hurting, and seeking escape from something. In his instance, pain from prior surgeries seems likely.
Without all the wealth and acclaim, many Americans are also hurting. Unemployment is rampant, fear is raging, rights are being stolen and hope and dignity for many has been lost.
There is much pain and suffering. By design.
The economy appears on the brink of collapse and with so many Americans already living paycheck to paycheck, the shock of an economic or terror event could bring about tragic ramifications.
As Michael Snyder accurately notes, "A tremendous amount of love and compassion is going to be required in the years ahead, because huge numbers of people are going to be really hurting."
Snyder is correct. We should note now that when it all comes crashing down, we should embrace our faith and be a beacon of light for those who cannot see.
Love is the answer.
