“It seems enormous to me that we have the idea of eternity, of justice, of purity, of beauty, when everything that we see is so far from all that! Who has put those visions into our heads?

“I would like to address the peoples of the world, especially the Arab peoples and the US people. Their silence over the violations against the oppressed Iraqi people who suffered greatly cannot be accepted by any fair-minded and zealous person. Therefore, all must take these violations seriously and express themselves even through peaceful demonstrations, sit-ins and protests. I urge those people to distance themselves from their rulers who support the West and the occupation forces.” PeopleWorldPersonsForceSilenceSupportFairsDistanceWestAcceptedPeacefulAddressesProtestUrgesOccupationRulersOppressedViolationDemonstrationZealous Author:Muqtada al Sadr

Ironically, people hooked on willpower may actually look for obstacles to overcome, dragons to slay, and enemies to vanquish--to remind themselves and others of their own prowess.” PeopleIfsThinkingFirstsLooksMayMeanLittlesPersonsProblemGoalTermEffortWonderEnemyEconomyOvercomingObstaclesFocusedEnormousDragonsWorth ItExhaustedWillpowerHookedSystems ThinkingProwessVanquish Author:Peter Senge
