And though all streams flow from a single course to cleanse the blood from polluted hand, they hasten on their course in vain.

What atonement is there for blood spilt upon the earth?

God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.

There is no disgrace in an enemy suffering ill at an enemy's hand, when you hate mutually.

And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

The ebb and flow of will is like the movements of the tides... if we cease our vain struggles and lamentations long enough to look away from the personal self...we realize life is going well with us after all.
