Agreed. See also, Psalm 73. Evil people may discourage us down to their level, but Ghandi was right about the ultimate end of tyrants.

Everyone eventually dies. Best to do good.

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall... think of it, always.”

Thanks for that quote from Gandhi, Melody. He also said, "I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary. The evil it does is permanent."

A commitment to non-violent means of working through conflict is required now, because without a change of direction, we're likely to end up where we're headed.
