When hatred wins, we all lose.
~ simplywendi
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate:
only love can do that.
―
In this world Hate never yet dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the law,
Ancient and inexhaustible.
– Gautama Buddha
We love because God first loved us. Whoever says, “I love God,” but hates his brother is a
liar. The one who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love the God whom
he has not seen.
– Jesus
The best among you is the one who doesn’t harm others with his tongue and hands.
– Prophet Muhammad
Retaliation is counter-poison and poison breeds more poison. The nectar of Love alone
can destroy the poison of hate.
– Mahatma Gandhi
It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works.
All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.
– Confucius
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.
– Lao Tzu
I believe much trouble would be saved if we opened our hearts more.
– Chief Joseph
Racial prejudice, anti-Semitism, or hatred of anyone with different beliefs has no place in
the human mind or heart.
– Billy Graham
And where love ends, hate begins.
– Leo Tolstoy
~ sending out love and sending up prayers for everyone today and every day.

These are brilliant quotes to share, very fitting. Yours, with racism winning and us all losing, is very poignant and powerful. It’s awful to think how pervasive racism still is in this day and age. It should have no part of our world. xx

God bless you for this post, Wendi. Truth be told I did have hatred in my heart for those who are inhumanely treating others all for control and greed. Power hungry mongrels who have caused so much sorrow, suffering and needless deaths. I saw how much anger and hatred ate up my energy and prayed OH how I prayed for love to return to my heart. It has, my friend. I am averting my eyes from the evil upon this earth and those perpetrating that evil, and instead have my eyes and MIND rooted in love and beauty. It is LOVE that is the victor. And with love, hatred crumbles. BIG (((HUGS))) for being such a bright light at such a critical time in history. Thank you!! xo
