As I've been re-reading some of my favorite American literature and philosophy, I have come yet again to my own personal universal truth, that love conquers all, whether it is just or unjust in the name of the law. In a time of complete controversy and division among our people, I think it is important to remember these basic, now ancient, simple morals and behaviors.

In the legend of Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau, he says it best: If the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of the government, let it go, let it go: perchance it will wear smooth--certainly the machine will wear out... but if it is such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, than I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter-friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn."
...and in turn, with the wise words of Ralph Waldo Emerson he says "Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore it if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world."

And with that, I want to tell you all to RISE ABOVE!!!!!! Use your own, personal, amazing morality and strong-held beliefs to rise above the negativity in this world. USE YOUR POWER TO CREATE THE LOVE WE ARE MISSING IN HUMANITY ❤️
LOVE is my one known ultimate, yet underlying world-wide truth, & I believe it can save this human race (among other awesome species we co-exist with)
