_<\/p>\n

Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world. <\/p>\n

_
\u201cYou are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone \u2014 any person or any force \u2014 dampen, dim or diminish your light \u2026 Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge. Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won.\u201d \u2014 John Lewis<\/p>\n
