@rezaaslan I think it is more about finding peace regardless. But yes, the powerful will lose control if the common man becomes uncommon. -
@nothingtosay22@rezaaslan Finding peace implies sharing the wealth. The alternative is perpetual economic war. -
@N0rthernJudy@rezaaslan I'm talking about a different kind of peace. Not unconcerned, but unattached to the state of the world. -
@nothingtosay22@rezaaslan There is no different kind of peace. Whether Ghandi, Jesus, Ralph Nader, or Alan Watts, message is about the same -
@N0rthernJudy@rezaaslan On the surface perhaps. Gandhi and Jesus both reference a deeper peace while simultaneously addressing issues. -
@nothingtosay22@rezaaslan Deeper peace attained via actions to address the problems of the poor & sick.Not different from action in world. -
@N0rthernJudy@rezaaslan We are probably talking past each other. All good. I agree that positive action is very important. :) -
@nothingtosay22@rezaaslan Paul said only belief.James & Peter said belief plus works.Main diff between those who follow Jesus vs. Paulines
