For those of you who think you know God because you can quote scripture: Ask yourself why Mother Theresa spent so much time with the less fortunate.
For those of you who think wars and violence will lead to the end of disputes: Ask yourself why the Mahatma was able to end British occupation with out lifting a hand in violence.
For those who feel that monetary wealth is the only way to happiness: Ask yourself why the Buddha gave up a life as Monarch to live a life of poverty.
And for those of you who think you know “suffering” because you have seen the Passion of the Christ: Ask a Holocaust survivor how life can continue after suffering.
