Quote by Aldous Huxley

“The function of the well-intentioned individual, acting in isolation, is to formulate or disseminate theoretical truths. The function of the well-intentioned individuals in association is to live in accordance with those truths, to demonstrate what happens when theory is translated into practice, to create small-scale working models of the better form of society to which the speculative idealist looks forward.”

“Putting some 'gray in play,' as Chad referred to it, always helped. HE said the act of rationalizing the pros and cons helped to cloud the issues enough to avoid a moral quandary. It allowed us to believe the ends justified the means. Seeing gray helped to remove the black-and-white, right and wrong ethical choices.. . Had I become so jaded in my life that I had actually forgotten the difference between right and wrong? Or had I simply tried to ignore the difference so I could sleep at least two or three hours a night?”

“What we talking about is making a difference. The problem is that we get this crazy idea that what we see in Oakland is everywhere, but it ain’t,” I said. “Life ain’t Gee Dub. Life is what is going on at all those white private schools with the three black teachers and six black custodians and security guards.” I felt my anger growing. “But the only way to change things is to prove their ignorance and racism is wrong.” “How?” I didn’t answer for a long moment. “We cannot let them scare us into just being athletes, entertainers and drug dealers,” I said. “We can be so much more.” I tried to think of the right words. “Remember when we talked about the Bill Gates Millenium Award and y'all said you were going to apply. You should. We should. They have limited our dreams. They have lowered our expectations. One of you could be the first, but that ain’t gonna happen if we don’t try. We can’t knock down the doors that are locked and barred for us without one of us having the key to those locks.” Excerpt From JUST ONE MO Mark T. Sneed This material may be protected by copyright.”

“The most important question for us humans is, "What is human?" "What is life?" "What is life?" If you can't answer this question, you can't live your life seriously. So Tolstoy, Russia's main gate, for a long time of 15 years I wrote my last book at the end of my career. What is life?It's 입니다. In this book, Tolstoy defines life like this. "Life is holding onto a thin arrowroot vine in a desperate situation where it doesn't know when it's going to break off." What do you think life is? Someone said that life is about luck. What is "WOON 7G3"? It means that luck is 70% and opportunity is 30%. Life is luck. Do you really think life is luck? Then you're lucky to live well, Is it bad luck not to be able to buy it? Being healthy is good luck, Is it bad luck to be sick? That's not true. Life is not luck. Victor Wigor thinks about what life is and then expresses it in one word. It's a voyage. Life is a voyage in which a boat floating on the sea plumped and sailed through a port. Ships floating in the sea of the world have calmness, rough waves, and scary typhoons. Life is not easy. So Job says life like this. "Isn't there hard labor in life on this land?" (Job 7:1) There is a theory of life in today's text. Section 13 of the body. "Those who say they will profit by doing business" (approximately 4:13) What is business and profit? Business is selling things to make money. What are the benefits? It's money from the business. Jews thought it was important to make money. So Jewish tactics are world-famous. The Jews were the geniuses of the tactics. In the old days, money was all coins. Our country also made money into a not. This is called Yupjeon. Heavy coins were very uncomfortable for traders. So the Jews made bills instead of coins, they made checks, they made bills. And the Jews thought about how to sell things without discounting them I made a department store in America. The Jews also taught their children this way. "The whole world is a business. Even white clouds become rain when squeezed." These people are Jewish. Trade was the best way to make money in the days of the First Church. Especially in the early church era, it was the best environment to make money from trade. In this era, it was Pax Romana.”

“Are these NGOs, NPOs, Foundations, activists, Feminists, Masculinity, and institutions fighting for peace and justice or they are fighting for revenge? Is their end goal to see everyone living in harmony or do they want people to live hating each other? Do they forgive someone who has seen their wrongs and try to make amends or you will forever be guilty no matter what in their eyes? Do they believe in rehabilitation, second chance, mistakes, reform, growth, maturity, transformation, correctional services, or higher power like being born again? I hope they don't have misdirected anger and outrage that causes more harm than good.”
