we won't ever unravel its secrets.
Thus we must treat the world as it is:
a sheer mystery.

If your tendency is to make sense out of chaos, start chaos.

For some of us, the world appears to provide
only a fixed quantity of each resource -
a limited amount of food, of money,
of love, of success, of appreciation.
For others, life is unlimited.
Their world expands with the generosity, compassion,
inventiveness, and service that they contribute.
In this world-view, money that is spent
or given away returns multiplied.

We are all "neighbors."
Our world has gotten too small for us to be anything else.
We can no longer have "us" and "them" - friends and enemies.
A person from Iraq, or Russia, or Columbia is
no more a stranger or enemy than a person from across town.
A few people everywhere are troublemakers.
Every religion provokes a few people to become extremists.
Do we need police around the globe? Unfortunately, we always will.
Do we need war? Does that question even deserve an answer?

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,

and useless in times like these.

I won't be idle with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.
- Jewel
All the world is full of suffering.
