The only power of evil is to destroy itself. It can never destroy one iota of good. Every attempt of evil to destroy good is a failure, and only aids in peremptorily punishing the evil-doer.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy 186:19)
… be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Be of the same mind one toward another. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

(The Bible NKJV – Acts 10: 28, 34, 35)
Love is impartial and universal in its adaption and bestowals.

At the moment, it would seem that the world is politically quite polarised. In the media more attention is paid to the things that divide us than to the things that unit us. Sentiments are felt strongly resulting in divisions even within families. With US election fresh in thought and the expectation of an election in Australia early this year, this discussion is very timely. David and Mark share ideas on how we as individuals can support a genuine sense of unity and peace.
