I forgot where I saw this, but it hits the mark:

Only Light
by
Thich Nhat Hanh

The root of terrorism is misunderstanding, hatred and violence. This root cannot be located by the military. Bombs and missiles cannot reach it, let alone destroy it. Only with the practice of calming and looking deeply can our insight reveal and identify this root. Only with the practice of deep listening and compassion can it be transformed and removed. Darkness cannot be dissipated with more darkness. More darkness will only make darkness thicker. Only light can dissipate darkness.... Those of us who carry the light should show the light and share it so that the world will not sink into total darkness. Everyone has the seed of awakening and insight within his or her heart.
