And then you will inherit the world
And die in martyrdom
For heaven or paradise eternally

with love for your fellow man

And then you will inherit the world
And die in martyrdom
For heaven or paradise eternally

Powerfully effective presentation of reason. I love the ending rhetorical summary advice, "CHOOSE YOUR GOD WISELY". First read o' your work, but not my last. Very nice!

Beautifully penned.
With passion. Blessed are the passionate.!

But martyrs are those who treasure their life and whose life is taken away by OTHERS, not those that explode themselves and take others with them on the trip that are unwilling and unprepared.

That is the difference between a martyr and ... oh no..... I get into trouble.
Poignantly w ritten and "WITH PASSION"

Hugs
