![]() When I saw that all the things I feared, and which feared me, had nothing good or bad in them save in so far as the mind was affected by them I determined at last to inquire whether “After experience had taught me that all things which frequently take place in ordinary life are vain and futile, and I am saying this as a person of color! If only Reformists will tolerate Capacianists, Capacianists will tolerate Reformists, and people of all races and colors will tolerate one another!” I mean, in 2999, rights for people of color were so intense that gaining rights for people of color meant diminishing the rights of Caucasians! Everyone had this preconceived notion that Caucasians were racists, and they even arrested Caucasians simply by alleging that they were being racist without even giving them a fair trial, which is like the equivalent of wrongfully accusing Black people of being criminals.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the person who suggested the enforcement of African education bans and the Triangular Slave Trade to the Museum of Recreation did this because of intolerance. I swear, I will try to change the name Reformation, and hopefully, Capacianists won’t replicate the same intolerance we showed them in the past.

It was the cause of all things, the power by which they were brought into being. It was the truth of all things, and also the light in which they shone forth, and became evident to intelligences human and divine. It meant unity, in which all time and all existence were gathered up. The idea of good is one of those sacred words or forms of thought, which were beginning to take the place of the old mythology. There was a need or instinct in the human soul which they satisfied they were not ideas, but gods, and to this new mythology the men of a later generation began to attach the powers and associations of the elder deities. They have become the forms under which all things were comprehended. The meagreness or negativeness of their content has been in an inverse ratio to their power. □ Sign up for our newsletter, The Morning Boost, and get a little pick-me-up every morning from the people that know a thing or two about lifting their community.“We remark, first, that in all ages, and especially in primitive philosophy, words such as being, essence, unity, good, have exerted an extraordinary influence over the minds of men.
