  The oppressed, the put-upon, the dejected–all sink into an existence where the oppressor counts on never being challenged because the ones who are afflicted would do anything to be something other than the down-trodden. Those who grow in such power cannot conceive that very many would ever break the chains…

    We have all heard old Yoda’s admonition about Fear. Here is my attempt at the alternative: Fortitude is the way to the Light Side. Fortitude leads to patience Patience leads to love. Love leads to letting-go… Not needing, you will have what you need.
