An Ancient and Eternal Law

Hatred never ceases by hatred;
But by love alone is healed.
This is an ancient and eternal law. --The Buddha

...Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
There is no greater commandment than these. --Mark 12:33

I saw these phrases of ancient wisdom written on signs of protesters trying to save Tookie Williams. I am filled with sadness.

a negative thought continue and increases exponentially until replaced by a positive thought, however the positive thought must be cultivated.

5. Some Very wise words...

Edited on Tue Dec-13-05 01:42 AM by JonathanChance

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.."

JRR Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
