“Reconciliation is what takes place, of course, at higher levels. President Karzai has been very clear about the red lines for reconciliation, accept the constitution, lay down their weapons, cut their ties with al Qaeda and essentially become productive or at least participating members of society in that regard.” Has BeensCoursesPresidentLinesLevelsAcceptingClearCuttingHigherMembersWeaponsRedConstitutionRegardLaysTiesProductiveAlsReconciliationAl QaedaParticipatingHigher LevelRed Lines Author:David Petraeus

“I've learned to distinguish between the greatness of God and the inexcusable evil that has been done by those professing his name. And so I do not deduce [as Christopher Hitchens does] that God is not great, and that religion poisons everything.

“If you vent anger with the object of spreading your toxic feelings, the result will have nothing to do with healing. Your anger is your weapon. On the other hand, if you release anger the way you'd expel a rock from your shoe, your intention clearly has healing behind it. Once the anger starts flowing, both of these alternatives might feel the same. Anger is anger. But if you have a healing intention, two things will happen: you will feel more peaceful after your anger has been released, and you will feel like an old, fixed belief in enemies and injustice has started to move.” IfsWayFeelsHas BeensTwoFeelingsHandsMightHappensMovingBeliefResultsHealingBehindsEnemyRocksObjectsWeaponsAngerIntentionInjusticeShoesPeacefulReleaseAlternativesFixedTwo ThingsToxic Author:Deepak Chopra
