The more peace there is in us, the more peace there will also be in our troubled world.
-- Etty Hillesum
...if you really take this in, this is more than just a 'peaceful' observation.
In fact, it is like going to war against our tendencies to view the world thru the lenses of victimization and passive aggression (the peaceful approach, right?) — not to mention outright attack of anyone who makes us feel uncomfortable...about nearly anything.
What goes on outside is a reflection of what goes on inside.
