RIP, Stan Lee. He introduced kids to great heroes and personal standards, and he also grandfathered entire industries based on them. A rare few can say that.
For many years we’ve been trying, in our own bumbling way, to illustrate that love is a far greater force, a far greater power than hate. Now we don’t mean you’re expected to go around like a pirouetting Pollyanna, tossing posies at everyone who passes by, but we do want to make a point. Let’s consider three men: Buddha, Christ, and Moses… men of peace, whose thoughts and deeds have influenced countless millions through the ages – and whose presence still is felt in every corner of the earth. Buddha, Christ, and Moses… men of good will, men of tolerance, and especially men of love. Now, consider the practitioners of hate who have sullied the pages of history. who still venerates their words? Where is homage still paid to their memory? What banners still are raised to their cause? The power of love – and the power of hate. Which is most truly enduring? When you tend to despair… let the answer sustain you.
