My heart goes out to all my Sikh friends and brethren (“Tight-knit Sikh community in shock over FedEx shooting,” Associated Press, April 18). I am a 71-year-old Jewish woman and, as such, can understand their pain.
I have been truly fortunate to have had several Sikh friends and acquaintances over the years, and have learned much about their religion and culture. They follow closely the tenets of their religion, some of which are kindness, understanding, generosity and gentleness to all. They are a loving, hardworking people who would do anything they could to help others.
My heart breaks for the grief they are feeling right now, and the persecution they are enduring daily.
With so much hatred in our country, please find it in your heart to treat everyone with the kindness, understanding and love you would want to receive.
