Compassion is our Strength
Copyright © Grant Lawrence (2004)

A caring heart is not a weakness or a hindrance. Others may see it that way, and may try to take advantage of our perceived "weakness". Society may even ridicule us for our difference. But, be glad that we are different. This difference is power, and it is this power that really frightens those that would seek to control and manipulate us. We are motivated by something that is as deep as life itself, but our detractors cannot see it or understand it. This causes them alarm, and they seek to ridicule it out of us since they know that our power can't be bought or sold. The world powers create bigger and better mass destruction devices, but with every bomb there is less security. The world shakes in fear while we talk of peace. Compassion brings us peace. That is the real power that no bomb will ever be able to bring us.
