"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - think of it, ALWAYS."
Mahatma Gandhi
He who is to be made to dwindle must first be caused to expand. He who is to be weakened must first be made strong. He who is to be laid low must first be exalted to power. He who is to be taken away from must first be given. This is the Subtle Light.
Book of Tao, Chapter 36 - The Rythm of Life (translated by Lin Yutang)
"Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes."
Alan W. Watts
No matter what laws get passed, judges get appointed, wars get started - it will be fixed. It'll take a monumental struggle with much pain, suffering & heartache but it will be accomplished. And it won't happen overnight.
We need to express our core values - Caring, Equality, Freedom, Fairness, Honesty - in our personal lives. If enough individuals express those values then society will also embody those values. Blue states will get bluer. Red states will turn blue. Those values will triumph.
