By Maude Posted on May 10, 2012 Posted in Relationships No Comments

Living in Peace

To live in peace is very simple. In your life, renounce violence. Entirely. It’s a very simple rule. You don’t hit children. If someone strikes you, don’t hit back. Don’t threaten violence. Don’t praise violence. Don’t do acts that support …
