Invest in Love

Maybe I'm feeling a little mushy tonight but this song really struck me.  How many times do we do hurtful things in the name of love rather than remembering Dr. King's words, "Hate can not drive out hate any more than dark can not drive out dark.  Only light can do that."

My advice, think something nice about the person who hurts you the most.  Don't give them permission to hurt you, just remember that lowering yourself into anger too will only increase the world's problems.  Taking in and responding with a compassionate, powerful response may not be quicker but boy do you feel better when you settle down for the night.
