Little Nuggets-203: A Bell is not a Bell

A bell is not a bell
until someone rings it,
a song is not a song
until someone sings it.

Love wasn't put
in the heart to stay,
for love isn't love
'til you give it away.

- Chanh Kha

Little Nuggets-198:

All ideologies end up killing people. If you separate love from nonviolence you turn nonviolence into an ideology, a gimmick. Structures that are not inhabited by justice and love have no liberating or reconciling force, and are never sources of life - Jean Goss

At the end of the day, love and compassion will win - Terry Waite
