Some good logic there. To me it means, for example, today - don't spend energy hating the looters, but ask yourself WHY? And 3 WHYS ---1 ) Are they in need of food or money because of no work, or possibly just greedy? ---2 ) Are they anarchists and Antifa setting the stage and sparking the LOOTERS ?--- 3 ) What is the ROOT cause of the protests and so MANY protestors being involve - is their cause just ? What is more important - that some EGGS got cracked or does society deserve a NEW omelet ????
