So, if we understand what is really right...and if we breathe it and live it and teach it to our children, then we have a real chance to change things. And what is really right is actually easy to understand: Do nothing that will harm another.
Try to be as helpful as you can to others. (This makes you a nice guy or girl...and it is one of the best contributions towards making this a better world!)
Work well at what you do ... be the best you can be.
See only good in all things and all people. (Some days that can be a contest! But do your best to try to see only good. In trying, you will be a better person.)
You may recognize that these ideas are similar to parts of the Ten Commandments. Don’t be surprised. All of the early Avitars had good things to say!
It does not take a genius to see that what is really right is easy to define. And it is easy to see that what the extremists today are doing in the name of their God is not right. Right is right; it is not subject to interpretation. The modern alchemist needs to transform behavior that is not right into behavior that is right. A daunting task for today’s world, I admit. And a Utopia worth pursuing.
-- The Alchemist
