Hidden Arsenal / by Alexander Lyadov

I can't help but think that we've already got everything we need.

No, I'm not talking about accepting a sorry state of affairs.

It's clear that we deserve, desire, and can achieve more.

I'm referring to the resources available to us on this path.

Often, we complain about an excess of barriers and a shortage of means.

In a dead-end, we feel like our reserves are depleted while threats are boundless.

But every medicine becomes poisoned when overdosed.

Water is a source of joy, yet it claims the lives of 320,000 people worldwide yearly.

We hardly befriended dogs before they were domesticated 15,000 years ago.

Every phenomenon is initially harmful until understood by humans.

It is only afterward that it becomes useful or neutral.

As self-defense expert ​Rory Miller​ says, "The difference between danger and a tool is who first uses it."

Whether something is good or evil to us is a question of perspective.

The necessary tool is right at our fingertips; we just don't see it yet.

Yours sincerely,

-Alexander
