Kasey said to that: >Nice sentiments but realistic, no. I believe in love, dreams, and the >power of music as well but they have nothing to do, in my opinion, with >the realities of politics or war. I disagree 100%, I think love and dreams are definitely connected with the " realities of politics and war." In fact I believe the more we separate them as a culture the deeper we are in trouble. "One of the most important things to have is compassion. We cannot buy iy in a big department store...we cannot produce it by a machine. Only by inner development, without inner peace it is completely impossible to end war and achieve world peace"- His Holiness the Dalai Lama "A good mind and good heart, warm feeling - these are vital. If you don't have such a good mind, you yourself can't function, you cannot be happy, your mate, children or neighbors and so forth won't be aooy either. And thus from nation to nation and continent to continent, everyone's mind becomes disturbed, people loose happiness. But thenn on the other hand, if you have a good mind, love, a good attitude. then the opposite is true."- His Holiness the Dalai Lama This is truth......not some wacky abstract dream....we are all part of cultivating peace as huge as it seems, as we are all part of cultivating war. Even the largest river starts like a pin prick. Erica _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
