Licking the Razor's Edge (2015)

*Instead of marching on the White House to demand an end to Obama’s “Drone War”,
openly forgive the President and his cronies for their repugnance — and show him the
real Way to Peace by actively forgiving your own enemies as well.
*Instead of picketing companies who pollute and pervert our planet, use that time &
energy to go forth each day and clean up a portion of your own neighborhood.
*Instead of attacking the deaf ears of cigarette manufacturers, bravely open up with
Kindness to any & all children you see with cigarettes in their mouths – making sure they
know that you care for them and that you believe in their ability to be addiction-free.
*Instead of trying to convince God that His judgmental ways are in error – instead of
begging Him to be more Kind to those who are not His “chosen few”, go forth each day
and show God what you mean by being openly Kind and humbly respectful to those
people yourself.
*And instead of breaking into factory farms and setting their victims free, speak to their
torturers in the language they understand best: Simply speak to them with your wallet …
Simply refuse to buy or imbibe animal products of any kind … Simply go vegan.
“No one is born hating another
person because of the color of
his skin, or his background, or
his religion. People must learn
to hate, and if they can learn to
hate, they can be taught to love,
for love comes more naturally to
the human heart than its
opposite.” ~ Nelson Mandela
“I am fundamentally an
optimist. Whether that comes
from nature or nurture, I cannot
say. Part of being optimistic is
keeping one’s head pointed
toward the sun, one’s feet
moving forward. There were
many dark moments when my
faith in humanity was sorely
tested, but I would not and
could not give myself up to
despair. That way lays defeat
and death.” ~ Nelson Mandela
“Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front.” ~ Nelson Mandela
