"Once again we face a paradox, for it appears
that softening your heart and gently tending its
wounds will protect you from evil. Building a
fortress and defending yourself behind it will
only make you more vulnerable. Healing your
own heart is the single most powerful thing
you can do to change the world. Your own
transformation will enable you to withdraw so
completely from evil that you contribute to it
by not one word, one thought, or one breath."
-Deepak Chopra, *The Deeper Wound Recovering the Soul from Fear and
Suffering*
