People are afraid that if they let go of their anger and righteousness and wrath, and look at their own feelings - and even see the good in a bad person - they're going to lose the energy they need to do something about the problem. But actually, you get more strength and energy by operating from a place of love and concern. You can be just as tough, but more effectively tough.
