“Do not be afraid for your lives here.
Who by worrying can add even one hair to his head?”
What person, through fear, can truly find peace?
What nation, through fear, can truly win freedom?
If we let go of our lives, we can begin to truly find them.
If we release our grip on our own self-defence, we can begin to find true security: for ourselves, for our enemies, and for all of humanity.
Don’t act out of fear: act out of what is right for all.
Sometimes what is right takes sacrifice.
Sometimes what is right takes courage.
It takes courage to take a hit to preserve our enemy.
It takes courage to turn the other cheek.
Have courage.
Love your enemy.
