An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

The Enlightened Neighborhood
The very essence of the Bible says, love thy neighbor, and not to judge thy neighbor. In the modern day, we only live in a lighted neighborhood, not in an enlightened neighborhood. For the entire neighborhood to become enlightened, the last seed of hate, arising out of judgement in our minds for whatever reason, and that remains planted in individual hearts needs to be removed, and give way to the blossoming of unconditional love. This will make enlightened individuals living in an enlightened neighborhood glow naturally, which sure is not as easy as turning on a light switch. Love yourself, love thy neighbor, and do not judge thy neighbor, love everyone you meet, love life. Hope this wisdom shines through all the darkness.
