Letting go.... might help curb violence

Yoda is old, small, green and with pointed ear's... and he speaks in one peculiar manner (Object -> Subject -> Verb or Object -> Subject -> Verb format )... And that small green Light Saber he got, is so kewl (How I wish I had one =P )!!!

There is this one particular dialog that Yoda had with Anakin Skywalker, before he turned to the dark side of the force:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoda: Premonitions, premonitions. These visions you have...

Anakin: They are of pain, suffering. Death.

Yoda: Yourself you speak of, or someone you know?

Anakin: Someone.

Yoda: Close to you?

Anakin: Yes

Yoda: Careful you must be when sensing the future Anakin. The fear of loss is a path to the dark side.

Anakin: I won't let these visions come true, Master Yoda.

Yoda: Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed that is.

Anakin: What must I do, Master Yoda?

Yoda: Train yourself to let go... of everything you fear to lose.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe one particular reason why we have so much violence around here in the so-called Paradise is cause we don't know how to let go of stuff, we fear too much.
Yoda once said “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering"

In summary "Train yourself to let go... of everything you fear to lose"
