Meeting racism, sexism or other forms of conditional despise, hatred or disrespect with a rejection of the person only perpetuates the momentum of violence in a different form. Do you really believe that you can eradicate darkness by denying it your light?
As long as we don’t recognise ourselves in the other, we do not yet understand. And without understanding, we remain powerless to recognise and bring out the intrinsic beauty of ourselves and others; to encourage a genuine kindness that comes from the heart, rather than forging a mask of niceness out of the fear of guilt and shame.
