The difficulty in realizing that a truth beyond culture exists is perhaps the greatest single barrier to the life of love. Our Culture is permeated by violence, militarism, materialism, patriotism to nation right or wrong, the supremacy of force, racism, sexism. Most people, seeking approval of their peers, never see how destructive these false values are. Here you are challenged to be dissatisfied with this cultural reality; to resist custom, habit, tradition, mores, social environment, even heredity; to act on your own conscience, to reform reality, to return good for evil, to love your enemy, to serve the oppressed.
