“There’s a difference between outrage and hate.
Outrage is appropriate.
Hate destroys the soul.”
Outrage needs to be rooted in a deep inner calm and a clear head so that we don’t burn out like sparklers that spew sharp, hot light into the darkness only to sputter out into a burning glow that fades, leaving behind a thin, cold, dull wand. Let your calm be the fuel for the controlled burn of an eternal flame.
Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm, even in outrage.
