Every day and night, darkness befalls us. It takes the form of hate and discrimination. Of loved ones lost and relationships destroyed. The mettle of our fiber is tested every waking moment of our mortal lives. By this speculation, it would seem to be a miracle to sustain sanity. With death, ignorance, irrationality, greed, and hatred, how do we keep ourselves from creeping toward the abysmal fall just past that inviting and curious ledge of demise? In a world where such forces are hard at work, there is one beacon to follow.

Love is the most powerful weapon in the arsenal of the human heart and soul that can defeat any foe in the face of adversity. It is a bastion of hope for those who lose themselves. It is a thing of such great eminence, that any who would overlook such a factor in any person's life, cannot possibly begin to understand the gravity of such a force.

With love, comes hope and understanding. With the power to understand comes the power to forgive and accept that of which we were once led to believe to be unacceptable. Acceptance is the key to equality, and such is the yearning for any human. Ignorance is the stuff of fools where as an open mind is the foundation of heroes.

Open your mind, and in doing so open your heart, because though it may be true that intelligence is what elevates our societies, it is only the heart that influences such a power to be wielded in the right and just manner. Be the light and unleash the tempest of love upon your enemies and those without a heading. When this roaring storm settles into a tranquil shower of enlightenment, peace will hold the reins.

In the end of days, I hope that this goal will have been accomplished. I dream that when the sun finally sets on our existence, we will be able to say that we lived our final moments in peace, happiness, and love for all.
