Mr. Goldman: Don't Let Hate Win

When I see Mr. Goldman on TV, on a talk show or the news, I don't see a man who grieves the death of his slain son; I see a man full of hate and anger and greed. Hate can roll one up in a ball and just bounce you all over the place; while the one you hate walks tall and goes on with his or her life. Hate never hurt the person you hate. Hate destroys the hater. I believe that could be one reason why God says love your enemy. Because God knows more than we do how hate destroys a person. I'm not saying that Mr. Goldman should love O. J. Simpson or forgive him. Forgiveness is between Mr. Goldman and his conscious. I'm saying he should stop, for a second, take a deep breath, ask himself; "what is my purpose in this fight? Is it truly for the lost of my son? Or is the purpose mainly to destroy O. J. Simpson? If O. J. Simpson is as arrogant as Mr. Goldman says that he is; is Mr. Goldman adding to that arrogance, by helping O. J. Simpson stay in the news and in the eyes of the public?

The man grieving for his son seems to be lost in hate. I no longer see grief. I see hate. Hate will only cover up the pain one feels. At some point one needs to try hard to get rid of the hate and anger, so they can begin the grieving process. The hardest pain in the world is to lose a child. There is no pain to compare it to. No amount of money in the world, will help the pain go away.

I would like to see Mr. Goldman get together with a ghost writer and write a book about the life of his son. Tell the world what a wonderful young man Ron Goldman was. Write about some of the fun and wonderful times he shared with his wonderful son. Don't just remember that horrible night and forget the good and wonderful person Ron Goldman was.
