You say "LIGHT" and "LOVE". But should there also be strength?
Strength may look and seem like ego. It may look and seem like evil. But can there be real harmony in life without strength of character? Without it even searching for the truth is hard or impossible. Because without it you may be manipulated by other people and your thoughts and thinking may be guided and exploited by other people. They will pressure you and use your intelligence to justify their opinions and believes, and to fight against opposing believes. It happens very often in today's world where many bright people are manipulated into defending falsehoods and fighting against what could be truthful. If pressure doesn't work they use humor, if that doesn't work they use inspiration, if that doesn't work they use compassion, if that doesn't work they use humiliation and shaming. They may use subtlety or they may use the entire might of the media, film, music, internet, politics and religions.
Strength, in my opinion is in one's mind. It is impartiality to other people, their weaknesses and your own weaknesses, impartiality to their wishes and your own wished, taming down your own desires. Strength is being impartial to the flaws of other people, even if they look evil to you. Strength may lead to rejection of what other people want from you, but at the same time understanding other people is needed. It may mean refusing to cater to weaknesses and wishes of other people, refusing to pity their weaknesses. Without it you may be like a puppy.
Not being a puppy means not barking at those who look bad, not defending without thinking those who look attacked. It may mean not responding to calls to play of other people, it means not accepting other people's rules. The 'puppy' must stay still and strong.
But it may seem evil, it may seem like betrayal, like not being a good boy.
A person needs time and opportunity to understand what's going on. And that is why strength of character is needed.
