“I would never find the secret meanings of life, but indeed aspire to be with the world and it's samsara of joy, pain, agony and in deep devotion to god realization. Another secret of life is trying to truly grasps meaning of life and paths to liberation through dharma practise is the secret of life and its existence. And always trying to be pure of our actions is the secret of a Buddhist life as taught Buddha. In my very humble opinion. But indeed I'm always trying to find the secret of life but it always keeps unfolding if we are the one looking for the secrets of life. All the best !!! Tashi delek and kadrinche from the bottom of my heart.”

“But I am deceiving myself in talking about a Christian republic; these terms are mutually exclusive. Christianity preaches only servitude and dependence. Its spirit is too favorable to tyranny for tyranny not to take advantage of it at all times. True Christians are made to be slaves. They know it and are hardly moved by this. This brief life has too little value in their eyes.”

“Hours are long. Wages are pitiful. But sweatshops are the symptom, not the cause, of shocking global poverty. Workers go there voluntarily, which means—hard as it is to believe—that whatever their alternatives are, they are worse. They stay there, too; turnover rates of multinational-owned factories are low, because conditions and pay, while bad, are better than those in factories run by local firms. And even a local company is likely to pay better than trying to earn money without a job: running an illegal street stall, working as a prostitute, or combing reeking landfills in cities like Manila to find recyclable goods.”

“It was amazing to be able to sit up half the night and look at the moon if you wanted to. To be late for meals if you wanted to....Dawdle over meals as long as you wanted to. Leave your crusts if you wanted to. Not come home at all for meals if you wanted to. Sit on a sun-warm rock and paddle your bare feet in the hot sand if you wanted to. Just sit and do nothing in the beautiful silence if you wanted to. In short, do any fool thing you wanted to whenever the notion took you. If that wasn't freedom, what was?”
