As they teach in Mathematics, all men should seek the twelve jewels of life: knowledge, wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice, equality, food, clothing, shelter, love, peace, and happiness.

A man must first obtain knowledge. And knowledge will lead him to wisdom – his ways, actions, and the way he speaks. A man who knows how to speak can bring forth understanding. And when a man gains understanding, he understand whether or not he’s free. Once you’re mentally free you’re going to automatically know how to be physically free. But freedom operates under a law of justice… Justice is a self-balancing scale that makes all men deal with one another equally.

So then you can live as a man – whether you’re doing business or farming – you can step into this world, look for your food, clothing, and shelter. And the only thing to achieve after that is love, peace, and happiness. Once you have love, you’re going to look for peace. What’s love without peace? if you love somebody and they don’t love you? Then what you get is war. People spread love without peace, or peace without love – what results is always a form of war. Happiness is complete satisfaction with yourself. If you keep looking outside yourself for happiness you’ll never find it.
