In our rough and rugged individualism, we think of gentleness as weakness, being soft and virtually spineless. Not so!

Instead of losing, the gentle gain. Instead of being ripped off and taken advantage of, they come out ahead! Charles R. Swindoll

It has become a commonplace that aggressiveness also often has its roots in fear. I am inclined to think that this theory has been pushed too far.

And every historic effort to forge a democratic project has been undermined by two fundamental realities: poverty and paranoia. The persistence of poverty generates levels of despair that deepen social conflict the escalation of paranoia produces levels of distrust that reinforce cultural division.

In short, a candid examination of race matters takes us to the core of the crisis of American democracy (p. 107). Cornel West
