Christina EngelaHow very like humans to pervert a message of love and peace to make it into an ideology of war and oppression to serve their own ends.
About This Quote
In the midst of a universal message of peace and love, a military establishment or a politician can twist it into something very different. Ideals are powerful, but so are the people who carry them out. When people have a powerful vision to serve their own needs, they have a tendency to pervert that vision into something that serves their own needs. In this way, humanity is the greatest pervert of all.
