Many may be experiencing ambivalent feelings and thoughts toward the death of Osama bin Laden. Here is a humbling and loving perspective from the Christian Science perspective.
"We need to seal this decade of unrest with love. I don’t mean personally loving someone who perpetrated one of the most senseless and darkest killings of the innocents. Yes, Jesus charges in the Sermon on the Mount to “love your enemies” (Matt. 5:44). This doesn’t mean we remain victims. Rather he is asking us to triumph in the fact that in the end only Love – the highest good, which some people call God – can stop violence, division, and conflict."
