Living
in Love:
Our true mission in life isn't to become famous. I've found that it is to help as many people as possible - ourselves
first - then humanity. Withouth first helping ourselves: stabilizing our mind, soul, and body: we will never truly be
able to help others.
How to help others?
-Love them- truly - in your heart with your soul
...even when they hurt you
...even whey they try to kill you.
Passive Resistance is faster than bullets; when you don't fight back, people notice.
Stronger than Granite Ledges; when your heart truly loves the opposition, and wants to better both sides.
Wiser than the greatest computer; when collective resistance proves fatal to an evil system.
(Question?) - What happens if an evil system takes up Passive Resistance? THink about this one, I haven't
thought about it nearly enough, but it's funny that most evil has been aggressive. Is evil aggression, or is evil
aggression with malice...cannot a pascivist use his non-aggression as an act of aggression?
-We may be killed and our blood may flow because we choose what we believe and fight for it in a non-traditional way.
Violence has never been the key but more of a Pandora's box leading to newer forms of violence constantly. Though our
society is enslaved to violence - and even glorifies it in many forms - we are their friends as fellow human beings.
We have merely chosen a different, more peaceful path - a higher moral ground.
"Be loving enough to absorb evil and understanding enough to turn an enemy into a friend." -Martin Luther
King, Jr.
-Though we may be hated at first, people will look at our actions and see peace on our faces. Perhaps they will
never call us friend, but in the cast that one would, that is the objective greater than humiliating the opposition.
"a power not rooted in love is reckless and abusive while a love devoid of power is sentimental and anemic."
-John J. Ansbro on MLK, jr.
"Power at its best is love implementing the demands of Justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything
that stands against love."
-Tillich from MLK, jr - The Making of a Mind
AGAPE - goodwill - love toward all man not because we like him, but because God does.
