and now some nice religous flavor

The person who undertakes to harm my people
shall not have his fiery actions reach me.
In fact, they shall recoil with his hatred to him,
and shall keep him far from a good way of life.
Wise One, hatred does not save one from a bad way of life.
(Gathas: 11-8)

Summary Substance: With the Divine Fire which gives light, warmth, and strength to our spirit, and Good Mind which makes us think clearly, one can be sure that those who come to harm the righteous, fail in their attempts. Their hatred recoils and they suffer from it. Those filled with hatred simply cannot enjoy a good life.

Pondering Points: Hatred does not save. It drowns.
