Many loves entail great costs,
Many riches entail heavy losses.

Know contentment and you shall not be disgraced,
Know satisfaction and you shall not be imperiled;
then you will long endure.

OK, I'm lost; How do I control what is stolen from me before I can lay my hands on it ?

I feel I have lost control and have no way to regain except by revolution. Even than I know in 150 years the recepients of a new freedom will fall prey to the old problems. We are stuck in a circle of wars !

Break the circle of wars. Design a peaceful revolution in your mind. Open yourself to the possibility of a new way, without violence. Violence is the tool of the mighty, if you wield that tool to bring down the mighty, you are then the mighty. Do not let yourself be corrupted this way. Use your passion creatively to help not only yourself but your grandchildren's grandchildren.
