When one nation demonizes another.

Your life is a circle. Your friendships are circles. Your relationships with others with whom you work, others whom you know are in fact circles. If you bring a personal warmth to a total stranger, that warmth ultimately is set out, is passed on, maybe to you, maybe to someone else on that circle, but nothing that you do is lost. No act of human kindness is lost. No act of antagonism is fully lost.

When you exercise negative energies, those energies go forward. They are overcome ultimately by what is positive, what is good, what is godly, but those negative energies are disseminated, and they have an impact. If you feel negatively toward a group of people, that negative energy impacts you. It comes back to you in some way, and that negative energy, your negative thoughts, have an impact on that other group. When one nation demonizes another nation, that energy is returned in some form. When such demonization takes place, you eventually reap the rewards of that attitude, for the actions that you take reflect that attitude. Those actions have an impact, and that impact reflects in negative ways upon your own sense of self.
