Hates a peacemaker
Who asks us
Calmly
To give up
Give up what is rightfully ours
For a greater cause
Each other
That’s why they are blessed
Called the children of God

To love another is to will what is really good for him. Such love must be based on truth. A love that sees no distinction between good and evil, but loves blindly merely for the sake of loving, is hatred, rather than love. To love blindly is to love selfishly, because the goal of such love is not the real advantage of the beloved but only the exercise of love in our own souls.
— Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island
