Mother Teresa once famously said “I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there.”
I love this quote. These days, angry protesting is somehow labelled as ‘freedom of speech’ but, in fact, all it achieves is heightened, misguided negativity surrounding a particular topic without a focus on the ultimate objective: resolving issues by focusing on the best positive outcomes, as opposed to being polluted by a pessimistic mindset.
