drawing straws life is a draw grasping at straws obscured by adventitious defilement's dualistic minds are mere designations conceptual forms of words and feelings ideals of self seeking erasure of ego path of individual liberation esoteric continuum refraining from anger and violence with compassion and tolerance transferring the poison from the negative tree to enlightened wisdom using wisdom's power turning the poison into a medicinal potion drawing straws choosing between love or hate emphasizing the positive accentuating karma 4-08-2009 D.E.

It is difficult to believe anyone chooses hate, but they do!
For me it's love,and hate I try to keep out of my vocabulary!;-)

Choosing between love or hate, and I think far too many choose the latter.
