Hate is the quick fix dagger that's easy to wield and quicker to draw but love is an unwieldy bastard sword. Although, if you are strong enough and skilled enough to make use of it, you'll beat any dagger every time.

Mankind's true bane is that we see all of these awful things around us as something external and removed from us.

The reasons things are awful is because we don't see that everything starts with the internal and you can't change a damn thing about the external world without first addressing the internal 

Doesn't matter which side you choose. What matters is to not choose a side and please remember:

Everyone is a son, a daughter, a mother, father, a grandparent. 

Not a single person that you’ve ever met was grown in a Petri dish.

If they hurt. They are hurt 

If they love, they are love

If they become confused and you have answers. Not revealing these to them, is the source of the abuse.

Just as if a hapless and parched wanderer of the desert comes into your establishment where you have water and you own the faucets.

There is no statute or anything on paper that mandates that you give him a drink, but it is not his wandering that kills him when you don’t provide. It is you not providing a drink that kills him.

You are either brave in this world or a coward.

How many things in life have you responded to where there was the right thing to do, the wrong thing, and a third opinion, another choice?”

Bravery is steeped in fear

Cowardice is as much a part of bravery as bravery itself and without this dichotomy there’s neither.

What people do for one another cannot be discounted, however, it is what we do no do for each other that has the greater impact.
