"I have heard and seen many examples of the cruelty that we are able to visit on one another during my time. . . I have also seen incredible forgiveness and compassion. Yes, each of us has the capacity for great evil. But for every act of evil there are a dozen acts of goodness in our world that go unnoticed.

In other words, use your energy and more energy flows and then it is very hard to stop it -- as if one would ever want to!"
