Desirable alternative

Sometimes you have no choice other than to fight, but fighting is not a good long-term strategy. Because whatever you fight against almost always grows stronger.

What is a good long-term strategy? Building a more desirable alternative.

Working in favor of a specific outcome is always more effective than fighting against its opposition. And whenever there’s something to fight against, there’s always a cause to work in favor of.

Many factors pose a threat to all that makes life good. You can never hope to eliminate all those threats.

What you can do is work to make the good things in life more robust, more enduring, more sustainable and preferable. You cannot prevent all falsehoods, yet there’s no need to do so when the truth is compelling, accessible and self-evident enough.

Invest yourself in what’s good, not in tearing down what’s bad. With sufficient goodness, negativity can crumble into dust.
