Breaking the Cycle

What Makes You Smile?

Dark Before Dawn

Breaking the Cycle

Anger begets hate
Hate escalates to violence
Violence creates sorrow
Sorrow grows into despair
Despair rises to desperation
Desperation builds into anger
Repeat

The cycle continues until broken
by mercy, justice and humility

Peace begets harmony
Harmony escalates to love
Love creates happiness
Happiness grows into joy
Joy rises to contentment
Contentment builds into peace
Repeat
