Love is joy. Don't convince yourself that suffering is a part of it.
Wars begin in the minds of men, and in those minds, love andcompassion would have built the defenses of peace.
The war we have to wage today has only one goal, and that is to make the world safe for diversity.
Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves.
As we watch the sun go down, evening after evening, through the smog across the poisoned waters of our native earth, we must ask ourselves seriously whether we really wish some future universal historian on another planet to say about us: "With all their genius and with all their skill, they ran out of foresight and air and food and water and ideas," or, They went on playing politics until their world collapsed around them.
The law of love and compassion for all living creatures is again a doctrine to which we are all too ready to pay slip service. However, if it is to become a reality, it requires a process of education, a veritable mental renaissance. Once it has become a reality, national as well as international problems will fall into perspectives and become easier to solve. Wars and conflicts, too, will then become a thing of the past, because wars begin in the minds of men, and in those minds love and compassion would have built the defenses of peace.
Governments, systems, ideologies come and go, but it is humanity which remains.
Gold is a way of going long on fear, and it has been a pretty good way of going long on fear from time to time. But you really have to hope people become more afraid in a year or two years than they are now. And if they become more afraid you make money, if they become less afraid you lose money, but the gold itself doesn’t produce anything.
Donald Trump loves America. He wants it to be the greatest place on earth. He thinks political people have made it the mess that it is. And he's been very open and up front about how he goes about accomplishing things, and that's totally ignored.
. . . this culture of mandatory happiness actually promotes dishonesty and more suffering.
If you have time to worry, you have time to make du'a.
