Don’t Become the Monster You’re Fighting
“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.”- Friedrich Nietzsche
It’s easy for us to lose our way when we are tired, lonely, and afraid. It’s easy for us to lose our way when our righteous indignation turns into rage, when our desire for justice turns into a thirst for revenge.
We have completely lost our way when we are willing to satisfy our own reasonable desire for safety, security, and prosperity at the expense of other folk, when we fully blame them for the plight they’re in while excusing ourselves from any culpability or accountability.
We are responsible for guarding our hearts and minds. We can never allow ourselves to lose our understanding, empathy, and compassion. We are responsible for growing our capacity for such where it is lacking. We must remain centered in love.
Failure to do so will result in our becoming just like the monsters we fight.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
