|> |> I happen to agree with "being for peace is based upon the correct

|> |of people:
|> |>
|> |> 1. The first kind are those who speak about doom, final 
|> |> destruction, annihilation. They pump fear into the hearts of 
|> |> people,
|> |using fear to
|> |> control or exploit them.
|> |>
|> |> 2. The second kind of people are those who are very rosy 
|and goody- 
|> |> goody. Everything is beautiful and just right for them. They are 
|> |> satisfied with life. These people allow evil to spread roots and 
|> |> branch out in such an immensity that others find themselves
|> |incapable
|> |> of fighting against it and stopping its growth. Because of their 
|> |> goody-goodiness, they indirectly encourage those kinds of 
|> |> activities which eventually lead people into destruction. These 
|> |> people are not only optimistic fools, but also cowards, who allow 
|> |> evil to
|> |grow around
|> |> them.
|> |>
|> |> 3. The third kind of people are those who see the danger, the 
|> |> corruption, the pollution, and the evil of terrorism and take 
|> |> conscious action to prevent its expansion, without pessimism
|> |but with
|> |> inflamed optimism. They see the situation clearly. They see the 
|> |> difficulties and obstacles on the path. They see the growing
|> |power of
|> |> evil; but they never lose their hope of victory over evil.
|> |This third
|> |> kind of people belongs to the race of heroes. They know that all 
|> |> events going on upon Earth are watched by Higher Forces. 
|They know 
|> |> that there exists higher resources of energy which, in unexpected 
|> |> times, come to the rescue.
