Re: What do you strive for?

First and foremost is to live my life without hurting anyone.

Then I strive for inner peace. When I find it, I can show you all the way.

Ah, yes--that is how it always starts. A nip here, a little nip there, and pretty soon they are posing for avatars...

And just so I do not derail this beautiful thread--I also endeavor to bring humor into this sometimes sad world. (It is better when you don't have to explain anything.)



InPeace,
InLove

I strive for:

Understanding
Freedom to be myself
love, education, medicine, and food for all the people of the world that need more.

(Sorry to add an "ad", couldn't help myself, check it out www.one.org)

Re: What do you strive for?

Hi, and Peace--

Dear "Foo" (I know you don't mind that)

Your heart is in a beautiful place.

I am really careful about signing petitions. I may come to realize someday that this made me part of the problem, not the solution.

But I don't really think so--I think we are on the same side, and history (especially spiritual history) will show this.

I will take some time and seriously consider adding my name. I have already added my heart a million times over. I will add my time, talent, and whatever money may come my way for the cause of Love.

And Love can do no more or better than to love.

I hope this doesn't sound crazy--but it might. Ask me if I care--I will say that I do.

InPeace,
InLove

Why is money needed to be able to have a happy society?
and what are the trends of moralism and religion here in Europe?
