MLK Jr said the same Truth, Fact, this way - "A person is not fit [equipped] to live until they know what they would be willing to die for."

Jesus said it this way - "Whoever would save their life will lose it; and whoever would lose their life for the sake of our neediest Family will Gain their Life."  Paraphrase with liberties, of which He would approve.

God is eternal, all-embracing, and exists across space and time. God is all there is. There is no other God than this God. All exists in Him. All life, when it appears, does not come from nothing, but rather, from God. And when death takes us, it does not take us to nothing, it takes us back to God," Leo Tolstoy from "A Calendar of Wisdom," Library tab above

takes us, it does not take us to nothing, it takes
us back to God.

WOW. "Feeling compassion toward all living crea­ tures is essential to becoming a virtuous person. One cannot say, “He is a virtuous man, but he is not compassionate,” or “This is a compassionate man, but he is cruel.” These phrases simply do not make sense." Tolstoy, "Wise Thuoughts for Ever Day" (Library tab above)

Feeling compassion toward all living crea­
tures is essential to becoming a virtuous person.
One cannot say, “He is a virtuous man, but he is
not compassionate,” or “This is a compassionate
man, but he is cruel.” These phrases simply do
not make sense.

"If you understand yourself as a spiritual be­ ing, you can save yourself from all troubles. No matter what happens to you, you will be un­ touchable." Tolstoy

If you understand yourself as a spiritual be­
ing, you can save yourself from all troubles. No
matter what happens to you, you will be un­
touchable.

From "Wise Thoughts for Every Day," see Library tab above.

****** WOW: Tolstoy on God: "To forget about God means to forget about the one who is always inside you." (more)

People sometimes ask, “Have you forgotten
about God?” This is a good question. To forget
about God means to forget about the one who
is always inside you. To remember God — and
to do this not only through words but also by
constantly remembering that God lives in us —
is truly a great thing.

From Tostoy's "Wise Thoughts for Every Day,"  See Libray Tab.

***** WOW. Tolstoy on "Religion:" "Every person feels that there is some­ thing great inside him or her. In life, that something — that which cannot be understood — is the most important thing of all. A persons attitude toward that thing is religion."

"Every person feels that there is some­
thing great inside him or her. In life,
that something — that which cannot be
understood — is the most important thing of all.
A persons attitude toward that thing is religion."
