the Strength and power of good over evil..............
Daily meditation Wednesday 7th of October 2009
"Human beings are used to responding to evil with evil, hatred with hatred and violence with violence, but nothing good can come of this old philosophy. It is good that counters evil, love that banishes hatred and kindness that combats violence. If evil is eventually defeated, it is because God has denied it immortality. Any hateful word or action is like a stone thrown into the air: in time it loses momentum, whereas a gentle word or an act of kindness is like a stone thrown from the top of a tower: it gradually gathers speed and power. That is the secret of good: it starts off weak but, in the end, is all-powerful. Whereas, evil starts off all-powerful but gradually loses its strength."
