the ultimate act of compassion - Japan

[Meerie]

The other side said - and how are you supposed to do that as there are people who don't understand love? That love actually gives them fuel to continue doing what they are doing and encourage them to go on? So for the sake of the victims, "evil" should be returned to "evil", its source.

Thank you dear sister. The above quote is very important imo. I was also thinking of Appeasement policy yesterday. It has not worked in the 1940s and it does not work today, when faced with certain people. Are the policitians who enabled Hitler also partly responsible for what happened during the 3rd Reich? If all the other nations had vehemently opposed Hitler, maybe he would have withdrawn and the Holocaust would not have happened that way.

I think one has to make an assessment re the situation and the people involved. In some cases, when confronted with love, an "evil" entity will indeed recede and maybe even heal.
In other situations they will use the love as fuel for their own dark deeds. Very insightful, thank you Ankh.
