Day 103 of wisdom
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.”
Jimi Hendrix
In nineteenth century British historian Lord Acton, made a statement saying, "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." This statement finds credence in the fact that, most people who vie for power do so only for their own sake, and not for the sake of those who they want to lead, they don't fight for power because they love the people, but because they love themselves, and want power so they can have all they want. When these power seekers get power they become incorrigible, proud, and insensitive to the plight of their subordinates.
This love, and quest for power is the reason the world hasn't known peace, it is the reason, the world has experienced wars, conflicts, chaos, and unrest. Nations fight nations for power, and control, they want to take charge, and determine what happens in other countries, they want to be absolute in rulings, and decisions. All these wouldn't be of concern if there was love.
Love is the most powerful force in the world, love has no weapons, but subdues enemies, and turns them into friends; love does not take advantage of the weak, and vulnerable of the society, rather it cares for them and lift them up; love considers does not consider his own well being alone, but also that of his neighbours, and acquaintance, only love can guarantee the world the peace it so desperately desire.
Love is the reason for the moment, it is the reason a Saviour died for the sins of the whole world, to reconcile a fallen people back to their creator, love lead Christ to be sacrificed for the world, He died in our place, and rose again, love has given us eternal life. Hallelujah.
Love is the most potent weapon of peace.
