Mams, I think I love you. You have actually tried to share Finnish with us.
 For that I am ever grateful. What is the Finnish Dollar called?

Haruina, you asked for a minute but I needed just a second; what make  you

I don't understand the immediate above Mams. I don't think I asked  you to
accept anything did I?
I thought it was Bilal talking and I was only encouraging him to  accept
Bilal's honour and seek to
Emulate him. Just because your name is Edi does not entitle you to  Bilal.
You are Mams and don't
ever friggin forget it. Just like Evian, wantin to usurp Bilal's name  from
him. I'm not having it.

[do on to others as you will take in return is the kind of love I am
referring to not Haruina ways of love.] Mams.

Well what tha hell kinda love is that? : Do onto others as you would  they
do unto you????? Why mess
around with folk's emoticons in the first place Mams???

[(Jos  haluasit olla jotain muta kun mikä jumala antoi, ongelma on mikä

My Finnish is so Poor but just to differentiate myself from Haruina,  I
will try to translate these as I understood
the saying as; If you wanted to be more that what God can give or  wanted
you to be, you are therefore,
looking for more trouble in your life unanimous. Edie] Mams.

This is why I said I think I love you. SO how do we say  it? I've always
wondered how you pronounce letters with friggin  dots
above them. These people have too much time on their  hands frolicking on
the fjords. Forget translation, how do we say  the
darn thing? Thank you for the effort though Mams. I hope  you can help us
with the pronunciation. Haruna.

Wait a minute. Is this Bilal??? I know Mams will  not call me Haruin after
telling us about how we're supposed to love one  another and all that jazz.
I could be wrong. I think both you and Mams  should be evicted from here. I
need to speak with Kukeh. I said to go  away Evian. Unless you accept Bilal
as your name so we could tell if its  you or Mams speaking. And you must
produce Mariama. Both of you.  Niin Edeleen!!! That tells you what SUomi thinks
of Muslings. You're  killing me. How're we supposed to pronounce that
anyway? Haruna. We need  Mams here. Evian how'd you come out with Olfactor?
Trying to keep a good  man down in that Top-exit cave of yours.  Afrikanski.

   Yap I am trying to educate Haruin on the similarity  of love narrated in
various religions, whether you are a Hindu  Buddha, Christian, Muslim (niin
edeleen) as Finnish language  referring to "etc". Edie

Subject: Love quotes from various  religion

   The prescription to love  your enemy and to requite evil with good is
sometimes  thought of as an impractical or  impossible ethic, able to be
practiced only by a few  exceptional souls. But, in fact, this doctrine is widely
 taught in all religions as a fundamental principle for  pursuing
relationships with others.

The person who insists upon  vengeance or retribution is not necessarily
committing a  crime, but neither will his act of revenge be helpful to
spiritual advancement. Revenge, which requites evil with  evil, only multiplies
evil in the world, while love, by in  which one strives to overcome evil with
good, spreads  goodness in the world.

True love is unconditional and  impartial--thus the metaphor of the sun
that shines down  on a ll life. It is tested and proven by encounters with
those who are difficult to love. Where true love prevails,  there no enemies
are found.

"He abused me,  he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me!" In those who 
harbor such thoughts hatred is not  appeased.

"He abused me, he  beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me!" In those who do
not harbor such thoughts hatred is  appeased.

Hatreds never cease  through hatred in this world; through love alone they
cease. This is an eternal law.

1.Buddhism.  Dhammapada 3-5

You have heard  that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate
your enemy." But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray  for those who
persecute you, so that you may be sons of  your Father who is in heaven; for he
makes his sun rise on  the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just
and  on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what  reward have
you? Do not even the tax collectors do the  same? And if you salute only your
br ethren, what more are  you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do
the  same? You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly  Father is
perfect.

2.Christianity.  Matthew 5.43-48

My Lord! Others  have fallen back in showing compassion to their
benefactors as you have shown compassion even to your  malefactors.20All this is
unparalleled.

3.Jainism.  Vitaragastava 14.5

Of the adage, Only  a good man knows how to like people, knows how to
dislike  them, Confucius said, "He whose heart is in the smallest  degree set
upon Goodness will dislike no one."

4.Confucianism. Analects  4.3-4

I should be like  the sun, shining universally on all without seeking
thanks  or reward, able to take care of all sentient beings even  if they are
bad, never giving up on my vows on this  account, not abandoning all sentient
beings because one  sentient being is evil.

5.Buddhism.  Garland Sutra 23

What kind of love  is this that to another can shift? Says Nanak, True
lovers  are those who are forever absorbed in the Beloved. Whoever
discriminates between treatment held good or bad, Is not a  true lover--he rather is
caught in calculations.

6.Sikhism.  Adi Granth, Asa-ki-Var, M.2, p.  474

The sage has no  fixed [personal] ideas.
He regards the people's ideas  as his own.
I treat those who are good with  goodness,
And I also treat those who are not good with  goodness.
Thus goodness is  attained.
& nbsp;
I am honest with  those who are honest,
And I am also honest with those  who are dishonest.
Thus honesty is attained.

7.Taoism.  Tao Te Ching 49

It may be that  God will ordain love between you and those whom you hold
as enemies. For God has power over all things; and God is  Oft-forgiving,
Most Merciful.

8.Islam. Qur'an  60.7

Aid an enemy before  you aid a friend, to subdue hatred.

9.Judaism.  Tosefta, Baba Metzia 2.26

Do good to him who  has done you an injury.

10.Taoism. Tao  Te Ching 63

Do not be overcome  by evil, but overcome evil with good.

11.Christianity. Romans  12.21

God said, "Resemble  Me; just as I repay good for evil so do you also repay
 good for evil."

12.Judaism.  Exodus Rabbah 26.2

Conquer anger by  love. Conquer evil by good. Conquer the stingy by giving.
 Conquer the liar by truth.

13.Buddhism. Dhammapada  223

Man should subvert  anger by forgiveness, subdue pride by modesty, overcome
 hypocrisy with simplicity, and greed by contentment.

14.Jainism. Samanasuttam  136

May generosity  triumph over niggardliness,
May love triumph over  contempt,
May the true-spoken word triumph over the  false-spoken word,
May truth triumph over falsehood.

15.Zoroastrianism. Yasna  60.5

The good deed and  the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with
one  which is better, then lo!, he between whom and you there  was enmity
shall become as though he were a bosom  friend.

But none is granted  it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted
it  save a person of great good fortune.

16.Islam.  Qur'an 41.34-35

A superior  being does not render evil for evil; this is a maxim one
should observe; the ornament of virtuous persons is their  conduct. One should
never harm the wicked or the good or  even criminals meriting death. A noble
soul will ever  exercise compassion even towards those who enjoy injuring
others or those of cruel deeds when they are actually  committing them--for
who is without fault?

17.Hinduism. Ramayana, Yuddha Kanda  115

The reason why God does not punish even though  He may see an enemy and
have the urge to kill him and get  revenge, is that He is thinking of the
enemy's parents,  wife and children who all love. Knowing all too well their
unparalleled love toward that person, God cannot strike  him with His iron rod.
When you really understand such a  heart of God, could you take revenge on
your enemy? When  you know all these things, you would even go and help that
 person. In this manner one comes closer to the Great Way  of heavenly
Principle, that Great Way which tries to  embrace everything centering on love.
When this happens  earth will shake and induce even God to shed tears. "You
truly resemble me. How happy I am!" He will ex- claim. God  always looks at
things in that perspective. This is how we  should understand the teaching
to love one's enemy. The  source of such a power to love your enemy is
neither  knowledge, nor money, nor earthly power. It is only true  love.

18.Unification Church. Sun Myung Moon,  3-30-90

Someone said, "What do you say concerning the  principle that injury should
be recompensed with  kindness?" The Master said, "With what will20you then
recompense kindness? Recompense injury with justice, and  recompense
kindness20with kindness."

19.Confucianism. Analects  14.36

According to Anas ibn Malik, the Prophet said,  "Help your brother whether
he is oppressor or  oppressed."

According to Anas, after the Messenger of God  said, "Help your brother
whether he is oppressor or  oppressed," Anas replied to him, "O Messenger of
God, a  man who is oppressed I am ready to help, but how does one  help an
oppressor?" "By hindering him doing wrong," he  said.

20.Islam. Hadith of Bukhari
