| If the States cannot live together in harmony under the auspices of such a Government as exists, and in the midst of blessings such as have been the fruits of it, what is the prospect threatened by an abolition of a common government, with all the rivalships, collisions, and animosities inseparable from such an event? |

| Quote of the moment |
| I understand the meaning of one being "open" as being like an open door; it can open very easily, without difficulty. "Free" is also the same. As a result of being free and open, the more you receive new ideas, it makes you want to give out more of your energy. That way, each helps the other. It is very useful, very necessary; especially these days. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, April 5, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
