How can we overcome violence?
To meet violence with violence is only to perpetuate violence.
To meet force with force is only to perpetuate force.
To meet strength with strength is only to perpetuate strength.
This merely replaces war with Pax Romana - i.e. peace through domination.
But could it be that we could overcome violence with gentleness?
To meet force and strength with gentle love is to penetrate to the root of violence which is fear.
And love casts out fear.
Because love is what we are protecting.
Neglect, betrayal, rejection, bullying.....
All these things are inspired by fear.
Fear of being hurt.
Fear of not being loved.
But gentle love disperses this fear.
And we are free.
Free to love.
Free to live.
Free to give from the infinite source of love within our hearts.
So give your love gently.
Let go of your fear.
And you will find that your soul, which is in your heart, is restored.
