4. Slavery, child labor, racism,
we've made great strides throughout a history of atrocities, thanks to people who didn't think like you.

what happens if we all quit striving for utopia? I think that we might end up in Hitler's world.

It is not impossible to have peace within one's self and still continually question and try to change the world around us. In fact, Inner, personal peace is mandatory to work on peace outside one' self.

Pretty sloppy response and generally I have a rule not to post when I'm tired, but I think this deserved a response. Your quotes are beautiful, but not a call to submerge one's head in the sand. Obviously, you wouldn't be in this forum if you believed this in entirety yourself.

Peace -
