Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. - from The Beatitudes [Note: "on my account"]
You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy,' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you....Resist not evil. - from The Sermon on the Mount
To have peace of mind, seek to bring peace of mind to others. -- Blinding flash of the obvious
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. -- "Man’s Search for Meaning," Viktor Frankl
Interestingly, of all these deep beyond reasoning words, thoughts and truths the one that sings to me is Nikka's, "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate."
Face it, to speak that, to know that. at age 6, is to be channeling unfiltered goodness...to which I do aspire. Sliver of gold...to so aspire is choosing one's own attitude, thus way.
Thank you.
