“Demons frighten us because we set ourselves up to be frightened. We are overly attached to our reputations and possessions. When we love and desire what we should be rejecting, we are in conflict with our true selves. That's when the negative energies catch us and use our weapons against us. Instead of taking up what we have to defend ourselves, we put our swords in the hands of our enemies and make them attack us.” ShouldSelfUseHandsDesireEnergyEnemyConflictWeaponsNegativePossessionReputationDemonAttachmentFrightenedTrue SelfRejectingNegative Energy Author:Teresa Giudice
“Ultimate peace begins within; when we find peace within there will be no more conflict, no more occasion for war. If this is the peace you seek, purify your body by sensible living habits, purify your mind by expelling all negative thoughts, purify your motives by casting out any ideas of greed or self-striving and by seeking to serve you fellow human beings, purify your desires by eliminating all wishes for material possessions or self-glorification and by desiring to know and do God's will for you. Inspire others to do likewise.” IfsKnowsMindHumansIdeasWarSelfBodyDesireWishHuman BeingsInspireMaterialsHabitConflictNegativeUltimateFellowsStriveGreedSeekingPossessionYour BodyGods WillOccasionsMotiveSensibleCastingFinding PeaceNegative ThoughtsEliminatingInspire OthersMaterial PossessionsPeace WithinGlorificationSelf Glorification Author:Peace Pilgrim
“It was a feature peculiar to the colonial wars of North America, that the toils and dangers of the wilderness were to be encountered, before the adverse hosts could meet. A wide, and, apparently, an impervious boundary of forests, severed the possessions of the hostile provinces of France and England. The hardy colonist, and the trained European who fought at his side, frequently expended months in struggling against the rapids of the streams, or in effecting the rugged passes of the mountains, in quest of an opportunity to exhibit their courage in a more martial conflict.” BookWarAmericaOpportunitySidesStruggleDangerMonthsConflictMountainEnglandPossessionWideBoundariesForestsFranceFeaturesStreamsWildernessPeculiarHostQuestsToilHostileRapidsExhibitsProvincesNorth AmericaAdverseHardyRuggedImperviousColonistsFrance And England Author:James F.

“Can we disregard the growing phenomenon of "environmental refugees", people who are forced by the degradation of their natural habitat to forsake it - and often their possessions as well - in order to face the dangers and uncertainties of forced displacement? Can we remain impassive in the face of actual and potential conflicts involving access to natural resources? All these are issues with a profound impact on the exercise of human rights, such as the right to life, food, health and development.” PeopleHumansWellsFacesOrderNaturalIssuesGrowingRightsDangerDevelopmentExerciseConflictResourcesImpactProfoundEnvironmentalHuman RightsPossessionAccessUncertaintyPhenomenonSustainabilityRefugeeInvolvingDegradationDisregardNatural ResourcesForsakeHabitatRight To LifeDisplacementNatural Habitats Book:The Garden of God Source: The Garden of God
“My job is unbearable to me because it conflicts with my only desire and my only calling, which is literature. Since I am nothing but literature and can and want to be nothing else, my job will never take possession of me, it may, however, shatter me completely, and this is by no means a remote possibility.” WantMayMeanJobsDesireLiteraturePossibilityCallingConflictPossessionUnbearable Book:The diaries of Franz Kafka Source: The diaries of Franz Kafka
“Toleration, holding that every other man has the same right to his opinion and faith that we have to ours; and liberality, holding that as no human being can with certainty say, in the clash and conflict of hostile faiths and creeds, what is truth, or that he is surely in possession of it, so everyone should feel that it is quite possible that another equally honest and sincere with himself, and yet holding the contrary opinion, may himself be in possession of the truth.” MenFeelsShouldHumansMayHuman BeingsOpinionHonestConflictPossessionContraryCertaintySincereCreedsHostileClashTolerationMasonsMasonicLiberality Author:Albert Pike
“The process of decolonisation in Nigeria was a very untidy one. The British, when they were leaving finally and knew exactly who they wanted to take over, they wanted pliant government, figures, structures, they wanted to continue indirectly in effect their control over much of their colonial possessions and this was one of the very early causes of conflict.” GovernmentWantedCausesProcessEffectsFiguresConflictStructureLeavingPossessionBritishNigeriaCauses Of Conflict Author:Wole Soyinka
“If only it were possible to love without injury – fidelity isn’t enough: I had been faithful to Anne and yet I had injured her. The hurt is in the act of possession: we are too small in mind and body to possess another person without pride or to be possessed without humiliation. In a way I was glad that my wife had struck out at me again – I had forgotten her pain for too long, and this was the only kind of recompense I could give her. Unfortunately the innocent are always involved in any conflict. Always, everywhere, there is some voice crying from a tower.” IfsWayGivingMindKindPersonsLongEnoughPhilosophyBodyPainVoiceHurtWifeCryPrideInvolvedConflictGuiltForgottenPossessionMy WifeGladInnocentFaithfulInjuryPossessedTowersHumiliationMind And BodyInjuredFidelityRecompense Book:The Collected Edition: The quiet American Source: The Collected Edition: The quiet American
