“We
are here to awaken from the illusion of our
separateness.”
Thich Nan Han"To me, naive is thinking that there is any other choice.

We don't know how long we will be in this world, so as long as we don't know, there's no reason for fear." Mark Johnson, "Playing for Change"
We are all caught up in "the inescapable web

just a little more time worrying
about what we’ve got in common."

from nature becomes hard;
He knew that lack of respect for growing, living
things soon led to
lack of respect of humans too."

Of
women, Napoleon once remarked:
"the husband must possess the absolute
power and right to say to his wife: Madame, you shall not go
out, you shall not go to the theater, you shall not visit
such and such a person: for the children you bear, they
shall be mine."
Peaceis not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we
arrive
at that goal. To be satisfied with a little, is the
greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth
his cares; but
a contented mind
is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.

Education
is
awakening.
There is no democracy without
education.
Education is
the alternative to violent
revolution. Public education
(media, schools) can lure the
populace to sleep, inaction,
overwork, fat, hyper-consumerism
- or education can awaken the
spirit. |
"A
day without laughter
is a day wasted."
-Charlie Chaplin
