Thank you. I agree about the ideology that love truly is the beginning. when we practice love internally, it is bound to come out externally. That is one ideal of the 1960's that I still firmly adhere to.
Pope Benedict says: 'non-violence is a way of being'

love thine enemies. I learned this the hard way, it was very difficult for me to understand as a child, and it seemed like giving up. Now I can't imagine why anyone would feel any other way. Weirdly when u behave like that you end up with a lot less enemies anyway, and those that remain end up rather nonplussed

Interestingly, that when John Lennon and others in the Peace movement in the 60s said it, they were branded as communist utopian visionaries who were out to subvert the moral fabric of society. Yet, all they did was to quote the Bible in the same manner as did the Pope!
And yet, I quess the moral fabric of society got subverted anyway, those communist utopian visionaries must have been very powerful to reach beyond the bonds of time and phuck-up our moral fabric eh.:laughing7::laughing7::wave:.
Love, peace, these are universal messages. Where do you think those 60's visionaries heard of it first

Right there in that very Bible, of course!
I have said it before and will say it again: the Bible (not antichrists like Jerry Falwell & Pat Robertson) is the key to peace in this world.

Please do not overlook the Old Testament and its wise teachings such as Psalm 27, and 81:13-15; Isaiah 41:12; I Samuel 8:20; and Deut 28:7. All teach the way of Peace as well.
