Let
your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as you stand or walk,
Sit or lie down,
As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Your life will bring heaven to earth.

Understanding is not completed without understanding mutual
differences in idealogy. To prove one right, there must be someone
who is wrong. To compromise one faith's idealogy for a socalled
mutual similarity between faiths and create an all-in-one faith is
what i call degrading the integrity of the original faith. Love is
not the answer to everything, its too general a word. Neither is
the poet. And neither is avoidance.
