Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don't feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.

The power of one! If I can't stop war in my life, how can I expect politicians to stop war in the world? I can't. And we all have equal wisdom, so if I can do it then I know that anyone can do it if their mind is open to answering just four simple questions and beginning there.
