Quotations for DegSep
Seen on ravyne_hawke's LJ, and I thought they were appropriate:
In this world, hate never dispelled hate.
Only love dispels hate.
This is the law, ancient and inexhaustible.
--The Buddha
Evil is the absence of love just as darkness is the absence of light. The way to dispel darkness is to shine light into it. The way to dispel evil is to "shine" love into it. If we change the perception that evil is something to be struggled against to a perception that it is merely the absence of love, it becomes our goal to respond to EVERYTHING with love. We can help put ourselves into that mindset by saying the words Only Love Prevails every time we perceive evil.
