Live a life that is so rooted in love that no matter how much power someone has, they are still incapable of convincing you to hate other human beings.
Sounds like current society
A cutting reflection from Cardinal Ratzinger, Good Friday 2005:
"Pilate is not utterly evil. He knows that the condemned man is innocent, and he looks for a way to free him. But his heart is divided. And in the end he lets his own position, his own self-interest, prevail over what is right.
Nor are the men who are shouting and demanding the death of Jesus utterly evil. Many of them, on the day of Pentecost, will feel "cut to the heart," when Peter will say to them: "Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God... you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law."
But at that moment they are caught up in the crowd. They are shouting because everyone else is shouting, and they are shouting the same thing that everyone else is shouting. And in this way, justice is trampled underfoot by weakness, cowardice and fear of the diktat of the ruling mindset. The quiet voice of conscience is drowned out by the cries of the crowd.
Evil draws its power from indecision and concern for what other people think."

Christianity is meant to look like Jesus.
That was the original definition for the term.
It doesn't look like power, it doesn't look like wealth, it doesn't look like hate, it doesn't look like violence, and it often doesn't look like victory.
But it does look like Jesus.

Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

For Christians, it’s important to look at the story of Zacchaeus and be sure we never, ever interfere in someone’s process of conversion.
Let people be with Jesus.

God made your personality as a means to reveal a part of Himself to the world.
You are an intentional creation of God, made as an answer to the prayers of many.
Focus on being grateful for who God made you to be and letting Him refine and purify you to shine brighter.

Jesus became poor to make us rich (2 Cor 8:9). He has shown us the way of God, who does not reveal Himself to us in power, but in the love of a Father who calls us into communion with Himself.

Let’s be clear: a sane person doesn’t walk into a church and murder children. This shooter was clearly disturbed. But notice the double standard — when young men under 25 commit mass shootings (which is the majority of them), we don’t scapegoat all young men. Yet when it’s a transgender person, suddenly the entire community is painted as violent. That’s not justice — that’s prejudice. #Hypocrisy #FactsOverFiction
The greatest moment of my 30 year teaching career was being able to announce to my second grade music class today that Travis and Taylor were engaged.

I don’t think people really grasp how true this is.
If every child came ready to be taught, teaching would be easy. But some need food. Some need supplies. Some need love. Some need nurturing. Some need patience and some to be seen. Teachers meet them where they are as they enter their classroom, and that is most honorable.
