"When the mind is peacful and clear...you will do that which is most appropriate."
"Please don't think that by being peaceful you will become irresponsible and hopeless, letting everything fall apart.

Things I wish I'd said double feature
"Nor am I saying, "If you don't let us be gay, then we will become lying, cheating, predatory assholes."
