Life is full of painful events, and people who have lost their way and hurt others.
Our pain is not lessened when we respond with hatred. In fact, the opposite
occurs: When we hate people who hurt us, we come to resemble what we hate,
or worse, and then we suffer all the more. What is evil is our response.
We have choices, and love is the most powerful eliminator of all.
~Bernie Siegel
What is lovely never dies, But passes into other loveliness, Star-dust, or sea-foam, flower or winged air. ~Thomas Bailey Aldrich
