Love over Hatred, Goodness over Evil
Buddha outlined the three paths which man might travel: worldly pleasure, 
self-torment, and the middle path. Only through the middle path could
man achieve bona fide peace and salvation. One had to repudiate materialism,
keep self-control, restrict speech, be open-minded, never lie and steal, 
reject self drives, nurture goodness, etc.. Buddha continued to preach until
the age of eighty, spreading the philosophy that man had the power to shape
his own destiny. Through good deeds and pure thoughts man may reach nirvana.
Interestingly enough, the man who objected to traditional religious worship
was to become idolized by millions throughout the world.

no tinge of scandal would embarrass her husband, our new mayor.
