Tommy LasordaUsually you just use these words: "I give you my, I make this commitment to you, I honor this idea between us." For me, commitment boils down to honor.

You make a commitment to stop smoking, to eat better. Typically, something that is positive. A positive notion of honor.

Can I get out of the circle? No. Never! I'd die first!

But whoever wants to pray the effective prayer of faith because he needs it for the work of the Master will learn it, because he has made himself the servant of his Lord's interests.

Ken WilberOnly when peace lives within each of us, will it live outside of us. We must be the wombs for a new harmony. When it is small, peace is fragile. Like a baby, it needs nurturing attention. We must protect peace from violence and perversion if it is to grow. We must be strong to do this. But force, even in the name of honor, is always tragic. Instead, we must use the strength of wisdom and conscience. Only that power can nurture peace in this difficult time.
