Pain is also a teacher. It puts things into perspective.

I didn't realize there was such a schism in France's populace. Maybe this is the wake up call they need.

You are right to say what you mentioned. It is even more correct because in France although there is racism and classism,Moslems want to use this ocassion to impose their wills on the weak and divided French state. Remember most Algerians have already promised to Islamise France. Thank you very mich for reading me. God Bless.

This is another wise and thoughtful post! 
" Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself has any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair". ~ William Blake

I've laughed many times when frustrations ran high. It is a pressure valve for sure!

If everyone loved everyone else unconditionally, what would happen to our competitive capitalist system? Good things, in my opinion.

I think that unconditional love...
doesn't take anything, but is all about giving God has taught me about that through very strange ways, but i have understood the message i guess lol

Avant-garde, I wish that I had learned this "The only 'way' to be free to love unconditionally is to free others of the roles we have placed upon them." a long time before I did.
