Our path to peace is not a calling to eliminate our dark side. Quite the contrary. For as in all things we too must remain in balance, light and dark alike. A quest for peace does not mean you are unwilling to confront conflict with a firm hand.
Do not allow your boundaries to be crossed for want of peace… or surly you will lose it.
Do not allow yourself to be taken for granted… or surely you will be forgotten.
Do not allow yourself to be intimidated… or surely you will be taken advantage of.
Instead, let them see in your eyes what your dark side is capable of, let them see how comfortable you are there, and let them be grateful they have encountered you on your path to peace.
