Why is it important who we teach our childen?
If your plan is for one year,
plant rice;
If your plan is for ten years,
plant trees;
If your plan is for a hundred years,
Educate children.
Confucius

Should you follow all the rules and traditions which are written or inherited?
The Lord Buddha has said…
…that we must not believe in a thing said merely because it is said; nor traditions because they have been handed down from antiquity; nor rumors, as such; nor writings by Sages, because Sages wrote them; nor fancies that we may suspect to have been inspired in us by a Deva; nor from inferences drawn from some haphazard assumption we may have made; nor because of what seems an analogical necessity; nor on the mere authority of our teachers or Masters.
But we are to believe when the writing, doctrine, or saying is corroborated by our own reason and consciousness.
“For this”, says he in concluding, “I taught you not to believe merely because you have heard, but when you believed of your consciousness, then to act accordingly and abundantly.”

Money + Banking
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
