Enthusiasm must be combined with wisdom and courage to avoid the destruction of the environment. ——"The Art of Living" Died Three Times Everyone who talks about the truth damages it; everyone who tries to prove it maims and distorts it; everyone who puts a label on it and defines an idea Instead, all the sects killed it: and all who professed to believe in it buried it.
