My impression, is that prayer is one of the most basic forms of magic. That it's harnessing the powers of your mind

Peace /n/: A rare state which has only existed when a despot has been fearsome or strong enough to impose it. The image of your head on the end of a stick is a strong incentive toward 'visualizing world peace'.

I've always done everything at my disposal to avoid labeling what I do, or to avoid being labeled myself

There are a lot of people out there who think that I am their worst enemy, and I don't even care if these people exist

Similarly, only people as misanthropic as myself can be counted on not to have to lie to others, since we have the unique luxury of not caring what sort of opinions others formulate about us.

Embrace nature's brutal perfection.

I think this society suffers so much from too much freedom, too many rights that allow people to be irresponsible.
