“The simple truth is this: if we put our energies into anger, fighting, disapproval and condemnation, we’re unlikely to end up making the world a better place. The only way we can do that is by contributing our positive energy—our love, kindness and compassion. Many who are full of anger and hate, many who feel the need to be forever at war, attach themselves to undeniably good causes as a sort of disguise. ‘Look,’ we say to ourselves. ‘That person must be doing it right; she’s spending all her free time attacking . . . whatever the particular appalling thing might be.’ But no; if the impulse is an attack impulse, it can only do harm.”
― Sophie Hannah, The Next to Die
