There are no quick fixes or external aids that can heal us from the inside out.  Instead, inner truths (life principles) help us avoid many potholes throughout life.  There are roots within every disaster or surprising experience, and many of these roots extend far into our lineage.  Any type of violence, prejudice, racism and other divisive means and strife don't occur overnight. 

Within us is the power to strip away the weeds from our hearts and minds and cultivate our spiritual fruit (love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, Galatians 5:22).

Then, we see the power in the principle that nothing happens overnight.
