The mystics will tell you death is perfectly safe. A violent act will beget a violent act; it is simply a law.
Tom ShadyacLove is not always about โeverythingโs fineโโฆlove is about truth. Truth and love are one in the same. It doesnโt always come in a sweet little box with a bow on it.

Tom ShadyacOur culture does not teach us this, but what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas. If you cheat in Vegas, it comes right home with you. If you cheat in Vegas, you walk home as a cheater. You lie awake at a night a cheater. You cannot escape it.
Tom ShadyacLook at native cultures - they've lasted for tens of thousands of years, not doing everything right. We wouldn't want to emulate them in many ways, but their basic philosophies - being a part of nature, a part of a tribe or group without elevating, not what you call dominator philosophies - they lasted for tens of thousands of years. It took us to come and put them asunder.
