Proverbs of Justice and Love
1. Every person, no matter how horrible, is a child of God and is therefore loved.
2. The causes of evil are pain, lust, and fear.
3. Since evil is both caused by pain and causes pain, it is self-perpetuating.
4. Thus one way to diminish evil is to answer pain with love and understanding.
5. Violence may be necessary in self-defense or in pursuit of justice, but violence in pursuit of vengeance is evil.
6. People have an innate sense of justice, just as they have of symmetry or balance. Even infants know when a punishment is just. Parents can tell from the sound of the cry.
7. Without justice there can be no rules. Without just rules there is anarchy, in which everyone's survival is threatened. Thus just rules and equitable enforcement are the primary responsibilities of the State.
8. Without justice the weak are defenseless. Without mercy justice is a robot that knows not what it does.
9. Justice diminishes evil by diminishing fear. Love diminishes evil by diminishing pain and lust.
10. Failure to discipline a child who does wrong teaches weakness. Discipline in anger teaches evil. Discipline out of justice teaches order. Discipline with love teaches goodness. |

| Big name mainstream pushiblers will almost never publish a book of poetry. You might find a small press publisher that does. However, most poets self publish their work. Understand, self published authors are never going to get rich from their work. You self publish to make your work available to friends and family. If you understand the limitations self publishing your poems is the way to go. The best self-publisher out there that I have found is lulu.com. You must format your writing, the upload the file to lulu. They will produce an electronic copy of your book. You then need to buy one copy to proof read. Once you okay it lulu will make it available on their website for purchase. WARNING: lulu (and all other self-publishing companies) offers marketing packages that imply they will make you a best selling author. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. I will not go so far as to say it is a scam, but it will not make you a best selling author, it is a waste of money. Just have them produce your book of poetry, and buy the number of copies you want to sell or pass out. Good luck . |
