Anger generally is a highly effective emotion, but it surely doesn’t deliver the brightest future. Snow White chooses kindness and nonetheless makes change. Energy takes many varieties. I hope we’ll see a brand new daybreak of kindness and acceptance within the subsequent couple of years. And folks don’t see the necessity to use hate to trigger additional division.”
