   Yes good will and peace to all mankind.   
      
   Some see the light, and encourage others.   
      
   However there is a time coming.   
   When those which are more enlightened will be attacked by the blind   
   followers of ways which think they have attack. From words to violence, many   
   think they do God's will in killing evil. Making everything that is not in   
   their beliefs as being evil. The extremism of ignorance. It has murdered   
   millions over the ages.   
      
   One day soon, we will get it. We will connect at understanding the bigger   
   picture and start what prophecies call the time of peace. Where the shift is   
   in the minset. That if we are not part of the tolerance, then we are part of   
   the problem.
