More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Different people call on [god] by different names: some as allah, some as god, and others as krishna, siva, and brahman. it is like the water in a lake. some drink it at one place and call it 'jal', others at another place and call it 'pani', and still others at a third place and call it 'water'. the hindus call it 'jal', the christians 'water', and the moslems 'pani'. but it is one and the same thing.

One of the first things i think young people, especially nowadays, should learn is how to see for yourself and listen for yourself and think for yourself. then you can come to an intelligent decision for yourself. if you form the habit of going by what you hear others say about someone, or going by what others think about someone, instead of searching that thing out for yourself and seeing for yourself, you will be walking west when you think you're going east, and you will be walking east when you think you're going west.

You must learn to forgive yourself as easily as you forgive others. and then take a further step and use all that energy that you used in condemning yourself for improving yourself. after that i really started to get somewhere - because there's only one person you can change and that's yourself. after you have changed yourself, you might be able to inspire others to look for change.

To be beautiful means to be yourself.you don't need to be accepted by others. you need to accept yourself. when you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don't try to be a magnolia flower. if you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. true happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.

I believe in islam. i am a muslim and there is nothing wrong with being a muslim, nothing wrong with the religion of islam. it just teaches us to believe in allah as the god. those of you who are christian probably believe in the same god, because i think you believe in the god who created the universe. that's the one we believe in, the one who created universe - the only difference being you call him god and we call him allah. the jews call him jehovah. if you could understand hebrew, you would probably call him jehovah too. if you could understand arabic, you would probably call him allah.

I am truly amazed that after all this time, religious groups still need to attack entertainment and use these tragedies as a pitiful excuse for their own self-serving publicity. in response to their protests, i will provide a show where i balance my songs with a wholesome bible reading. this way, fans will not only hear my so-called, violent point of view, but we can also examine the virtues of wonderful 'christian' stories of disease, murder, adultery, suicide and child sacrifice. now that seems like 'entertainment' to me.

Actuated by these motives, and apprehensive of disturbing the repose of an unsettled reign, julian surprised the world by an edict which was not unworthy of a statesman or a philosopher. he extended to all the inhabitants of the roman world the benefits of a free and equal toleration; and the only hardship which he inflicted on the christians was to deprive them of the power of tormenting their fellow-subjects, whom they stigmatised with the odious titles of idolaters and heretics.
