27. Ten equals one to me.

All the issues boil down to the same thing- respect for others. All things become one, it is the human form that makes us see
things as separate. The Indians seemed to get this- the spirit of the sky, the animals, the trees, the stone. In reality, we are all one.
Like the (Ten) Commandments (I am not religious), I believe they all boil down to one: thou shalt not steal.
If you lie, you steal the truth, if you kill, you steal the life, etcetera.
Don't take what isn't yours, and even then take no more than you need.
Thanks once again.
