Cake or Death?

Hatred driven people - do us, the people who choose love over hate, peace over war - do we deserve to breathe the same air as you? Do we deserve to live on the same planet as you? Do we have the right to see the beauty in others? Do we have the right to cry when we see the innocents suffering (which you detest because of your irrational and abstract hatred)? Where you see abstractions, we see faces and names! Where you see monsters we see children and parents! Think that you are also ruining the world we long for!

Enmity destroys freedom

Enmity destroys freedom. Only lovers are free to come and go. Enemies dare not let each other out of sight. In the eabsence of being we cling to having; the vacuum of love is filled by hate.

Sam Keen, "Faces of the Enemy", Harper San Francisco, 1991, page 106
