Of course , this path — as reasonable as it may sound — is actually extremely ineffective ; it actually leads us away from Peace and towards even more pain .
“ Fear is the path to the Dark Side . Fear leads to anger , anger leads to hate , hate leads to suffering .” ~ Yoda
Fortunately , there is an alternative Path — a Way of Courage — a Way of Caring … the Way of LOVE . And all it takes to tread this new trail , all it takes to leave the life of angst and suffering behind , is one bold step into the fear-filled life of another — one Kind hand extended gently in another ’ s time of need .
Today is the day we have been given to do the Good we can do … There is no reason to wait any longer to bet started . For no one else is coming to our rescue … No one else is going to rebuild our communities or mend our relationships or assure our happiness …
It will be us or it will be no one .
And this is a truly Good Thing — for WE truly are the ones we have been waiting for , WE truly are the ones who will become the change we wish to see … WE truly are the ones who will save this day .
“ Luminous beings are we , not this crude matter … Your weapons — you will not need them , and your size matters not … Simply do , or do not . There is no try .” ~ inspired by Yoda
