“Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” ProblemPurposeJusticeAbilityLove IsAchieveNeededDemandUnderstoodConceptsOppositesAnd LoveRealizationDenialSentimentalRecklessResignationWithout LoveAbusiveCorrectingImplementingPolar OppositesAgainst LoveConcept Of Love Author:Martin Luther King, Jr.
“That's not a utopian vision. It is a set of ideas that we think are important to discuss. Those ideas largely have to do with sustainability of cities.

“When these resources are degraded or polluted, then there are fewer of them for the rest of us, and then we start competing for them and eventually as we compete, there are those of us, who have the capacity, who have the ability to be the controllers, to decide who accesses them, how much they access, and eventually there is a conflict. Those who feel marginalized, those who feel excluded, eventually react in an effort to get their own justice, and we have conflict.” FeelsJusticeAbilityEffortConflictResourcesCapacityAccessFewerCompetingExcludedMarginalizedControllers Author:Wangari Maathai

“I now believe that evolution, or deevolution, never ends short of death, that no society has ever achieved an absolute pinnacle, that all humans are not created equal. In fact, I believe attempts to create some abstract equalization create a morass of injustices that rebound on the equalizers.
