How Could So Many Murder So Many?

This is the question Robert Weir will pose at our March 8th Citizens for Peace meeting.
The Holocaust is not only about Germans and Jews but about any people, anytime, anywhere! Robert will share his experiences visiting the Memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe in East Berlin starting with a 12 minute video followed by a discussion of the similarities between then and now. Bring your friends to this powerful presentation!

We are not held back by the love we didn’t receive in the past,
but by the love we’re not extending in the present.

THE FOUR AGREEMENTS

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using words to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

DON’T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.


DON’T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement you can transform your life.


ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
Your best is going to change from moment to moment: it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
