1) Meditate, and you will have Peace. But no one has a peaceful life
2) Pray, and your prayers will be answered. They rarely are
3) Work hard and you will be successful. The streets are littered with hard working failures
5) School is the fabric of society. But it is a place where children are bullied, learn destructive habits, get exposed to alcohol and drugs, and suffer lifelong emotional turmoil
7) Stay in school. The real message should be Skip School, but Stay off the Streets
9) Government maintains order. Police can be helpful in maintaining order. Government is the crime
11) Be compassionate. If you are compassionate, you had better be prepared to offer the other cheek
13) Tests demonstrate knowledge and intelligence. Tests demonstrate how well one takes tests. End of story.
15) Your family will support you in your endeavors. They might. But emotional weight and expectation often come with it
19) Be optimistic. Be optimistic about what? This is another empty fantasy. There is no tomorrow. There is only Now. What is there to be optimistic about?
To be continued . . .
Namaste.
