We Fight

Sadness with smiles
Hurt with healing
Tears with joy

Selfishness with selflessness
Insult with truth
Intolerance with forgiveness

Ugliness with beauty
Mundanity with creativity
Misery with celebration

Callusness with sensitivity
Curses with blessings
Intractibility with absence

Petty power with personal power
Helplessness with angelic legions
War with the end of war
