Let There Be Peace
Q: Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
A: The Emode Ink-Blot Test knows!
And according to their careful analysis, (and contrary to the opinion of some of you, who think I am a crazed warmonger), I am in fact, a man of peace.
- Matthew, your subconscious mind is driven most by Peace.
People who have unconscious minds driven by peace tend to be independent thinkers who often prefer to live by their own high personal standards and moral code.
So, to celebrate the good news, I present to you my favorite quote on the subject of Peace:
- 'We will have peace' said Theoden at last thickly and with an effort. Several of the Riders cried out gladly. Theoden held up his hand. 'Yes, we will have peace', he said, now in a clear voice, 'we will have peace, when you and all your works have perished- and the works of your dark master to which you would deliver us. You are a liar, Saruman, and a corrupter of men's hearts. You hold out your hand to me, and I perceive only a finger of the claw of Mordor. Cruel and cold! Even if your war on me was just- as it was not, for were you ten times as wise you would have no right to rule me and mine for your own profit as you desired-- even so, what will you say of your torches in Westfold and the children that lie dead there? And they hewed Hama's body before the gates of the Hornburg, after he was dead. When you hang from a gibbet at your window for the sport of your own crows, I will have peace with you and Orthanc.
Now replace Saruman with Bin Laden, Orthanc with Islam, the torches in Westfold with the fires in the World Trade Center, and Hama's body with Danny Pearls, and you'll have an idea of the kind of peace I'm looking for.
- 'Like, and yet unlike,' muttered Gimli.
