Adding Fire To Fire Just Burns Down the Whole Building

When we stop the war inside of us, it will stop outside of us. If we harbor any ill feelings towards anyone, it is our own resentment we are experiencing. Everything in the world is just a mirror reflecting back who we are. It is unfathomable that we can think that there can be any joy in causing pain to anyone, regardless of what terror they have caused. It does not matter what they did. State of being is what matters, not the circumstances.

Adding fire to fire just burns down the whole building. We must put out the fire with water, and that water is peace and love. We live on a planet of water to remind us of that. To turn it around we need to look deep inside and let go of all the hurts and injustices that we believe have been done to us and just simply let them go and choose to love. This may seem impossible, but it is simply a choice, and it is the only choice that will produce the peace we seek. Seeking justice does not produce peace. Seeking peace produces peace.
