Use simple words, words that _create pictures_ and _action_ and that _generate feeling._ - Gerry Spence

The function of the law is not to provide justice or to preserve freedom. The function of the law is to keep those who hold power, in power.

"Every living thing feels because feeling is a dimension of the universe. I daresay rocks feel in the way of rocks. I daresay the stars feel in the way of stars. If we can feel stars, feel their beauty, feel their majesty, how could we so arrogantly insist that a star, one that has existed in the universe for billions of years, one that came into being at the time of the "big bang," cannot also feel? Any astrophysicist will tell us stars have lives of their own. How can we of such piddling knowledge, of such puny understanding, of such fleeting existence, how can we who live but who cannot fully explain the life of the simplest of cells — how can such as we proclaim that the universe is bereft of all feeling except our own? Can we not leave room for the possibility that the universe itself is composed of endless feeling?"

To freely bloom — that is my definition of success. The question then is, How does arguing with our children advance our goal that our children freely bloom.
