"In a conflict, if we are convinced we are good, right, pure and the other side is evil, wrong, impure, we have lost our way... Thinking in terms of us vs. them, white vs. black, good vs. evil, is like a disease that has caused untold suffering in the world. Empathy...does not...cripple action, but makes it more intelligent." -- Ajahn Jayasaro, from "On Love."
