Here are 5 valuable thoughts from the Amity Manifesto. 

We’re reading these on repeat this Amity April!

A son says to his mother: “Mother, today I fought with my friend.”

His Mother says: “Why did you fight with your friend?”

“Because he demanded something of me, and I would not give it to him.”

“My son, you now have your possessions, but you do not have your friend. Which would you rather have?”

“Then give freely, trusting that you will also be given what you need.”

A daughter says to her Father: “Father, today I fought with my friend.”

Her Father says: “Why did you fight with your friend?”

“My daughter, did your friend’s words change who you are?”

“Then do not be angry. The opinions of others cannot damage you.”

A husband says to his wife: “Wife, today I fought with my enemy.”

His Wife says: “Why did you fight with your enemy?”

“The wrong is past. You must let it rest where it lies.”

A Wife says to her Husband: “Husband, today I fought with my enemy.”

Her Husband says: “Why did you fight with your enemy?”

“My wife, why did you speak cruel words to her?”

“Then you must no longer think cruel thoughts. Cruel thoughts lead to cruel words, and hurt you as much as they hurt your target.”

One friend says to Another: “Friend, today I fought with my enemy.”

The Other Friend says: “Why did you fight with your enemy?”

“Because they were about to hurt you.”
