This is your world. Go to it. It will not come to you. Break the rules and hurt no one. Stay out of control. Avoid balance. A balanced life aches for momentum while searching for safety. Be sharp-edged rather than well rounded.
Don’t tolerate difference. Tolerance is often arrogant, even contemptuous. Rather, get to know people who are “different” and your tolerance could evolve into acceptance and your acceptance could be transformed into love. Hiding behind many a “different” bush is a lifelong friend. Embrace diversity.
Recognize evil and depart from it. Evil is occurring when bureaucratic processes and religious procedures are rigidly honored while they hurt people, disrespect their values and ignore their traditions. Don’t look for hooded devils brandishing pitchforks; evil is where the lust for profit and unchecked power prevail, where lies are exchanged for truth, where integrity becomes expedient and ends justify means.
In 2006, strive to hurt no one and maintain your integrity. Value and love peace, but do not keep it. Make peace. Peacekeeping is tiring. Peacemaking usually follows intense conflict and is often permanent and creative. Live without damaging anyone.
