There are lots of vacant lots.
Ask the person you hate most
to go with you to the vacant lot
your friends have chosen for this
coming Saturday. Tell this person
you'd like to pick him/her up.
Tell him/her you'd like to introduce
him/her to your friends. There are
many vacant lots, so you don't need
a temple or a mosque or a synagogue
or a church or a cathedral or the Vatican.
Then all of you will stand in silence
for a time. Tell your new friend thanks
for coming, that his/her coming has
blessed your day.
