Emptiness Of Extremism

Emptiness Of Extremism

For those sympathetic to extremism,

.

How can lives of others be treated with such contempt ?

All justifications for acts of terrorism carry no weight

Condemn preaching against what is civilized and decent

Understand how unrewarding it is to fill a heart with hate.

...................................................

Now, turn your backs on those aiming to lead souls astray,

Finding joy in this life and what this world can provide.

It is absolutely within your power to make your own way

Any who say committing atrocity achieves glory have lied.

Hello Richard...

Great message...

More and more souls are being lead astray...

I am always thankful for the knowledge and conviction with confirmation I have received...

I am also very thankful that when I see and hear about all the hate in the world...

The hate I have had personally said to me...

It is a great reminder...

Who am I seeking approval from?

People don't have power over my soul...

Steal my life?

Everything is good with my soul...

Great write! 

Thank you for being there! 

Hug!! :)

Welcome to Cosmofunnel !

So many souls are being manipulated by the preachers of evil. These preachers do not understand anything of the value of life or what enjoyment can be gained from making the most of every day and the reward of helping each other.

Some have to come to realise there is nothing gained from doing evils work.

Thank you for reading this and commenting. Best wishes to you.

great write, people can be brainwashed so easily leading them to believe that something greater lies beyond death.

The views of extremists about the afterlife are invalid due to their misguided assumption that atrocities merit reward.

Thank you for your comment.

Take care.
