"On a global scale, evil is not something to fear, much less negotiate with. That only gives it more power.
Yes, there are times when you have no choice but to battle evil But stoop to conquer evil and you will only join it in its mud.
Against evil, you must march to battle on the clouds. You must trample it while never looking down. On the contrary, while in battle against evil, you must find yourself reaching higher and higher.
Even a little light pushes away a lot of darkness. For every shadow of darkness we have seen, we must produce megawatts of blinding light.
Just as those possessed by evil did the wild and unreasonable, so, too, we must do kindness beyond reason.
In fact, this is the purpose of evil, why a God who is entirely good devised evil to be in His world. Because evil forces us to reach deep inside, to find our inner strength, climbing ever higher, until reaching a brilliant, blinding light, a light that leaves no crevice for darkness to hide.
Against that light, evil melts in surrender, having fulfilled its purpose of being. For, in the beginning, darkness was made with a single intent: To squeeze out the light of the human soul. A light that knows no bounds.
Fight evil with beauty. Defy darkness with infinite light."
For through Him we are more than conquerors, and the gates of hell/darkness cannot, and will not, prevail against the light of the world which has been revealed.
