space EditorEditor’s note: The core of all our intentions, thoughts and actions basically come down to a choice between two powerful forces – Fear or Love.

Although fear seems to come more easily and without thought it can be overcome if we build up our kindness and love muscles and practice choosing love. –Ameeta space

– Alan Paton –

A Tale of Two Americas and the Mini-Mart Where They Collided

Ten days after 9/11, a shocking attack at a Texas mini-mart shattered the lives of two men: the victim and the attacker.
