{"quotes":[{"text":"Regardless of your chosen faith, at the end of your life's journey, your heart will be measured in two ways. One, the weight of your conscience must far outweigh the weight of a feather. Two, any impurities in your heart must weigh no more than one feather. The purer your heart, the lighter your spirit will be. The lighter your spirit, the closer to light it will float. The closer to light it is permitted to go, the higher it will float. The higher it floats, the closer to God you will be. Heaven has seven layers. The vibrations of your good deeds, which will be reflected by the weight of your conscience and the purity of your heart, will determine the layer in which your soul will reside. Your goal is to make your heart as light as a feather. The heavier the heart, the more chained to this hell it will remain.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["afterlife","balance","chained","conscience","death","doing-good","faith","feather","goal","god","good","good-and-bad","good-and-evil","good-deeds","goodness","heart","heaven","heaven-and-hell","heavy-heart","hell","journey","judge","judgement-day","layer","life","light-heart","living","morality","religion","scales","soul","spirit","spirituality","suzy-kassem"],"id":12988,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"If only we can agree that us mortal human beings only have relevance when there are opposing forces and ideas then we would not be so consumed with tribalism. It is our focus on what others do or say that gives them meaning and relevance. Light that points to the clear sky is consumed by darkness.. In the absence of a reflective object light has no relevance.. Friction/resistance is necessary for forward movement.","author":"Lennox D.Lampkin","tags":["advancement","friction","good-and-bad","progress"],"id":27674,"author_id":"Lennox+D.Lampkin"},{"text":"The entire journey of life is lived with energy and we use energy in all that we do from dawn to dusk! When your energy goes down, something goes down. We can do anything with our energy but not all things deserve our true energy! We have, all of us, a choice to choose where our energy must go when day breaks. We can choose to allow anything at all take our energy, but we must not forget that where our energy goes, from there comes something to us; something good or something bad, something mediocre or something noble, something that will disturb us or something that will enhance our joy, latently or visibly, now or tomorrow! We must always remember each day that the same energy that is exerted on wrong things to attract and produce wrong things can be exerted on good things to produce good and great things!","author":"Ernest Agyemang Yeboah","tags":["attitude","attraction","do-something-with-your-life","energy","good-and-bad","important-things-in-life","inspirational","motivational","priorities","purposeful-life","time","time-wasting","true-purpose","wasting-your-energy","wisdom"],"id":65874,"author_id":"Ernest+Agyemang+Yeboah"},{"text":"At the end of every light, is a tunnel of darkness.","author":"Anthony Liccione","tags":["darkness","good-and-bad","light","tunnel","twist"],"id":70029,"author_id":"Anthony+Liccione"},{"text":"If we believe that god is the creator of evil, maybe there is evil also in heaven, if that is the case, we are not out of the woods yet.","author":"Bangambiki Habyarimana","tags":["barbarity","belief","belief-in-god","belief","belief-system","beliefs","believer","believing","cruel","cruel-people","cruel-world","cruelties","cruelty","devil","devil","enormity","evil-god","evil-in-heaven","evil-man","evil-men","evil-people","evil","evil-spirit","evil-thoughts","evil-words","evilness","evils","faith","faith-in-god","faith-in-yourself","faith","faith-reason","faith-vs-reason","faithful","faithfulness","fear-of-god","god","goddess","gods","good","good-and-bad","good-and-evil","good-and-evil","good-and-evil","good-and-evilevil","good-deeds","good-deeds","good-vs-evil","habyarimana-bangambiki","heaven","heaven-and-hell","heaven-on-earth","heaven","heavenly","heavenly-father","heavenly-rewards","heavens","inhumanity","iniquitious","iniquity","paradise","paradise","paradises","religion","religion-and-philoshophy","religion-spirituality","religion-vs-science","religious","religious-faith","spirituality","spirituality","spirituality-vs-religion","wicked","wicked-intensions","wicked-people","wickedness"],"id":82434,"author_id":"Bangambiki+Habyarimana"},{"text":"They say the distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success, I believe you can say the same thing about the distance between good and evil.","author":"Carl R White","tags":["cynical","cynical","cynicism","evil","evil-men","evil-people","evil","genius","genius","genius-thinkers","good","good-and-bad","good-and-evil","good-people","good","goodness","human-nature","humanity","humanity-and-society","humanity","insane","insanity","insanity-is-normal","life","manipulation","men","mental-health","mental-illness","people","philosopher","philosophical","philosophy","philosophy-of-life","philosophy","quotes","about-life","to-make-you-think","sad","sadness","war","writing"],"id":82561,"author_id":"Carl+R+White"},{"text":"Survival in scarcity dictates nastiness with a rival clan, but also dictates goodness towards our own clan whose support is vital to acquire or defend the necessary scarcities.Man’s nastiness or goodness is not his fault or merit;They both create the vital coping mechanism to his environment of scarcity.","author":"Haroutioun Bochnakian","tags":["good-and-bad","rival","scarcity","survival"],"id":104151,"author_id":"Haroutioun+Bochnakian"},{"text":"Before eating from the tree of knowledge, Adam and Eve had no notion of Good and evil.They were kicked out of paradise, because the supposed Creator was unable to reason that giving someone free will to choose between two things while having no notion of either, would be the Himalaya of nonsense.","author":"Haroutioun Bochnakian","tags":["adam-and-eve","anachronism","free-will","good-and-bad","good-and-evil","monotheism","nonsense","original-sin","religion"],"id":107920,"author_id":"Haroutioun+Bochnakian"},{"text":"No. You see, the night works differently here than in the human realm,’ he continues. ‘Duwyn is a world of balance.
