But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

~~Jesus Christ

[Piling]

Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville ;
Quelle est cette langueur
Qui pénètre mon coeur ?

Ô bruit doux de la pluie
Par terre et sur les toits !
Pour un coeur qui s’ennuie,
Ô le chant de la pluie !

Il pleure sans raison
Dans ce coeur qui s’écoeure.
Quoi ! nulle trahison ?…
Ce deuil est sans raison.

C’est bien la pire peine
De ne savoir pourquoi
Sans amour et sans haine
Mon coeur a tant de peine !

Paul Verlaine

“Je suis un intellectuel. Ça m’agace qu’on fasse de ce mot une insulte : les gens ont l’air de croire que le vide de leur cerveau leur meuble les couilles.”
— Simone de Beauvoir, Les Mandarins.

Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Sadly nowadays ALL religions seem to practise the unwritten commandment:

Love your neighbour as yourself UNLESS he is of a different religion or colour or social income - in which case feel free to bomb him and/or murder him - destroy his country/home - steal his belongings etc etc

America is one of the worst countries in that it is one of the richest countries but still has an extremely large number of people living below the poverty line - it also has the largest arsenal of weapons in the world - proving it does not love either it's neighbour or it's own people
