Real Rest is the Best

recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest." (Matthew 11:28, Message)

social life would

According to the above article

(http://www.preservearticles.com/201106228409/gandhis-ideal-
state-was-a-non-violent-state-of-enlightened-anarchy.html), in
Gandhi’s ideal non-violent state of enlightened anarchy, every
individual (who is enlightened) lives a self-regulated life,
instead of depending on a centralised authority or government.
This ideal state resonates with me because it promotes peace,
unity and harmony among people. It is a worthy goal to work
towards. As long as there is a government, no matter how noble
or uncorrupted it may be, it tends to perpetuate a continual
dependence of people on the government to regulate their lives.

In this Age of Enlightenment, we all can work towards becoming

responsible for our own actions and learning to be guided by
love from within. When more of us do that, there will be no
need for police to keep law and order because we will respect
one another’s rights. Eventually, there will be no need for
government too, as we can learn to collaborate with one
another to achieve our dreams and meet our needs. I hope to
see more of this happening in our collective evolution.
