Throughout our history, there has been a long list of those we've been conditioned to hate. The British, French, Spanish, Germans, Japanese, Russians, Communists, Northern Koreans, Vietnamese, Iranians, Taliban, and both northerners and southerners in America are some of the people we've been encouraged at various times to call enemies and to hate. The list is long, and as time passes, those we were assigned to hate we later were told should be removed from our hate list. The enemy is obviously hatred itself. Have empathy for your assigned enemy.

Live as if your prayers are to be answered.

Creativity means believing you have greatness.

Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.

If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.

If others hurt you, let the injury go. This is your test. If you let it go, you will find serenity.

Enlightenment is your ego's greatest disappointment.
