(Speaking to the choir, my friend… ☯️) After watching a preacher on YouTube this evening deliver a message filled with hate, I turned off the television and began writing what was on my heart. We can agree to disagree, but this is my way of living a Christian life. — LeBron Keener

We should always endeavor to carry the torch of truth within our hearts and memories — even while our discerning minds remain aware that there are still those among us who seek to twist it in their favor for some sort of exclusive personal gain. Continue to remain vigilant, my friends… 👣🌎✊…💜⚔️🛡️…☯️

(Pretty much explains why I adopted it as my personal symbol for this journey so many moons and countless experiences ago… ☯️) Don't resist life's contrasts. They don't make life imperfect, they make it whole. Embrace it all. That is the beauty of being alive. — from 'Buddha's Teaching'

"Being soft does not mean being weak. You can forgive without forgetting the lesson, love without tolerating disrespect, and speak kindly without staying silent. Protecting your peace is not cruelty. Sometimes the strongest thing…is to walk away without losing your compassion." — from 'Buddhism'

In other words, authentic living involves simply getting rid of the egotistical need to just fill up our lives with illusory, outside-the-box fluff — let us make true substantive personal freedom be the main aim… 🎭⚖️🎯…💜⚔️🛡️…☯️

Life sometimes seems to be nothing but an endless battery of tests for which one can find either 'success' or 'failure' in — just see that some real mindful work has been put in both before and after each individual learning experience, no matter which way you might have scored it initially… 📚✍️📓…☯️

I'm pretty certain that some of these rules to live by will not be stirred into everyone's cup of tea — but having been said for what seems like a countless number of times, it always comes down to how each individual chooses for themselves… 💜⚔️🛡️…☯️
