I've been looking for a place to bring up the quote for today's word, "obloquy", and think that this is as good a place to put it, since I don't want to make a new thread for it.

"Evil is like a shadow - it has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it." -Shakti Gawain

This I feel relates well to the OP, and her website is very interesting.
