I Read The Bible And Know Little Of Its History, But The Human Beings Who Wrote It Were Instruments Of Divine Power, And Jesus Forged A Far Stronger Bond Than The Ten Commandments: Love. Birds And Monkeys, Or Any Of God's Creatures, Obey Their Instincts And Merely Do What They're Programmed To Do. In The Case Of The Human Being, Things Are More Complicated Because We Know About Love And Its Traps.

Stay Close To Those Who Are Not Afraid To Be Vulnerable, Because They Have Confidence In Themselves And Know That, At Some Point In Our Lives, We All Stumble; They Do Not Interpret This As A Sign Of Weakness, But Of Humanity.

Loving Means Being Open To Miracles, To Victories And Defeats, To Everything That Happens Each Day That Was Given Us To Walk Upon The Face Of The Earth.

Victory And Defeat

Believing Everything Your Child Does Wrong Is Entirely Down To The Company He Or She Keeps.

Only Children Believe They're Capable Of Everything. They're Trusting And Fearless; They Believe In Their Own Power And Get Exactly What They Want. When Children Grow Up, They Start To Realize That They're Not As Powerful As They Thought And That They Need Other People In Order Survive.

He Uses Common Sense To Judge Not The Intentions Of An Action But Its Consequences.

Try To Be "good", You'll Be Judged. Try To Be Yourself, You'll Be Criticized. Therefore, Choose The Second Option. Evil Uses The "nice Good People" As Puppets. It Appears Dressed As A Poor Guy, Telling Them That He Needs Help...when These People Realize They Have Been Used, It Is Already Too Late.

In A World Where Everyone Struggles To Survive Whatever The Cost, How Could One Judge Those People Who Decide To Die? No One Can Judge. Each Person Knows The Extent Of Their Own Suffering Or The Total Absence Of Meaning In Their Lives.
