Genuine sincerity opens people's hearts, while manipulation causes them to close.
We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose.
The key to transforming our hearts and minds is to have an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions work.

I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.
