What right has any section of the community to base the whole work

and evolution of the universe upon one of these two factors alone,

upon competition and struggle? What right has it to base the whole

working of the universe upon passion and fight, upon competition and

struggle? That these exist we do not deny; but what right has anyone

to deny the working of the other force? Can any man deny that love,

this " not I " , this renunciation is the only positive power in the

universe? That other is only the misguided employment of the power of

love; the power of love brings competition, the real genesis of

competition is in love.
