"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace"?
If only it were that easy.
Fear is the opposing force of love, and it is by fear that people are driven to subscribe to systems of power. There can be no peace without courage: the courage to unshackle ourselves from our power-hungry masters and take responsibility for, and control of, our own lives, instead of relinquishing it because we are too afraid to think for ourselves.
"The only good is knowledge, the only evil is ignorance." - Socrates (supposedly)
