“Avoidance helped settle the emotions. Considerably.”

“Again and again the old groupings of left and right no longer seem helpful. Sloganeering and dogmatizing settle nothing, nor do emotional tirades and protests really help us sort things through in a thoughtful, biblical fashion.”

“I’d wanted emotion but couldn’t find it here, so I settled for motion.”

“It must be my logical consideration of a decision many see as purely intuitive or emotional that throws other people for a loop.”

“Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled.”

“My wish for all people throughout the world is to help teach love, tolerance in each household as part of their daily duty, so as to enrich the hearts and souls of those around them with positive emotions and lasting consideration for each other, so we can all learn to get along in peace and harmony”
