Use of strength and force are sometimes appropriate, such as when a great stone must be moved or something must be rescued. Strength and force of character, of inner resolve, and of determination to achieve something are also appropriate uses. Use of strength and force against others, against differences, against dislikes, against perceives disruptions may however be regarded as inappropriate behavior. Use strength and force for that which is good, for that which the heart says is appropriate, for the heart knows that strength and force are life-giving attributes of every heart that beats in every human being. Heart-centered strength and force keep the blood of life flowing, giving life not taking life, and that’s appropriate!
