In these chaotic times, one must not trust the adages about might making right and good guys always finishing last. Anyone who doesn\u2019t question those primeval cliches should be ashamed.

The universal truth of the iSoul who connects all paths and guides all fellow travelers teaches us that time really is on our side \u2014 yes, it is \u2014 because the world never has to wait for the sunrise.
