Love, Hatred and Spirit

All creatures are the members of the family of God and the whole world is Home. When love blossoms, peace blooms. When hatred comes at the door, all happiness leaps out of the window; Unity dissolves, dischord reigns; love, life and ambition become the victims of the pungent quest for survival. The whole world becomes an irony of creation.
The War of the rooms, the War of the countries; the War of mankind against mankind, the War of mankind against beasts; the War for gold, money and power; the War for peace, paeans, principles and positions; the War for land, the War for wood; the War for food, wine and whiskey; the War for victory; The War for passion and the War for possession; shall all suffocate, die and bequeth calm, if the rooms, the countries, the mankind, the beast, the gold, money and power, the peace, paeans, prinicples and principled, the land, food, wood, wine and whiskey, the victor and the defeated, the passion, the passionate, the possessor and the possessed, the yours and the mine, the you and the me, all sit at the fireplace of Love and learn to share the excesses with the ecstacy of the warmth that is thus exuded.
To attain this warmth, effort is obligatory on the self.
We must learn to charter individual paths for our individual motives; Unrest happens when unwilling paths intersect. On the other hand, civilizations are born when the same paths meet at their final destination of fulfilment.
Our faith shall be our own, and it shall not question the others'; Our conviction shall not harm the undecided.
Never help the undeserving at the cost of the needy; never deny help to the needy, even if at the cost of the undeserving.
Contain a spirit within. A spirit that shall live long after you disappear. A spirit that shall live for a cause and that shall even die for redemption; a spirit that shall be gracious enough to accept all, love all, but spirited enough to stand by the belief. The spirit that can sustain, and the spirit that can inspire, is the spirit called you and the spirit called me. And this spirit conquers and and is one of the kind that no force can overpower, no cemetry can silence.
