The answer to all our problems is both laughingly simple and numbingly complex, we must learn to truly 'love our neighbors as ourselves'.

We must learn to empathize with the ones we deal with each day, meticulously trying to be fair, honest and charitable with all men in all matters. Our 'me first' attitudes must go, both individually and nationally.

When we are mad, jealous, greedy, etc., we must step back and put ourselves in the shoes of our target, and act as we would wish to be treated.

It does sound laughingly simple doesn't it, but ancient grudges, modern economic and idealogical conflict, and human weakness render it deceptively and mind-numbingly complex (as we're seeing in Iraq).

Congratulations to all who strive every day to live this way, perhaps falling short sometimes but never ceasing to try. To those who haven't made it or even those who haven't even started, I leave you with the words of the immortal bard (Coolio :rastasmoke:

"C U When You Get There"
