Not only is there never justification for war- there is not justification for any military.

If you are wanting paradise to come about deduce honour--- it means death before pride.

All pride is sin - there are no countries.

Imagine a world of no buying and no selling because that's where we are going.

Divinity is dedication to truth.

Do right.

Let love inspire.

Turn away from pride and all things that extoll it--- actually, ya, that does mean money.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid of homelessness.

Know that conscientiousness is the supreme law- that if you can do something responsibly you have the right to do it.

Pride is not a right- you do not have the right to be proud.

'Innocent until proven guilty' is not just for individuals- it is for everything- the whole of society--- this means that, actually, it is a violation of right for a cop to have a gun--- that it is a violation of right for a cop to wear a bullet-proof vest----- that your right is violated if the best is no assumed of you and your world.

Dedicate yourself to truth and look at the world around you-- it's yours and there is a path to maximum happiness- think.

all love,

me

who is you
