As our country rapidly approaches its next REVOLUTION, we need to remember that anything done in anger will only re-create the very thing that angers. If we are going to change the system, we can only do so using means based in feelings that are different from the ones that need changing … If we’re going to have a revolution, it’s got to be from a place of Forgiveness & Respect. It’s got to be from Love — or it’s not going to work!***

We can only find Inner Peace while having the Courage to stand bravely and LOVINGLY in the face of those who would oppress the same. Fighting against evil makes it defend itself and grow stronger. At the same time, stepping aside and merely “going within” allows evil to roam where it will unhindered. The only effective alternative is the “narrow way” — the Way of Love, which stands boldly between evil and its intended victims, while simultaneously forgiving evil its malice. We must see beyond behaviors to reawaken the glorious Souls hidden within the pain-coated hearts of the malevolent and the manipulative.
