resistance is fertile

New thought

Resistance is not just futile but fertile, too. Meaning, that if you beat against something, it will become callous, more resisting. If you fight against something, you leave fertile grounds which give rise to more resistance. An eye for an eye, will make all blind. your opponent can charge you for evil things, because resistance is destructive.  If you bang your head against a wall it will bang you back equally hard. That city you are resisting, will by no means fall because it is well fortified. Better start a new place to live and the light of that place can by itself attack the power of that once great city.

Another way of putting it, there many cutting away at the branches of evil, merely pruning it. Better to take care of the God-tree then the evil-tree. And with tree, i mean mindset. Love on one side and fear on the other. Fear closes down, love opens up.
Better to work on something new, then to make an arena of our history for 'their' enjoyment.
