“If you think your life is worth nothing, just zoom out, and you'll realize, in the vastness of space and time, the entire humankind is worth nothing. What's a mere 70-80 years, live it out anyway! What you got to lose, except your meaninglessness! Life's meaning comes from life, life's meaning is measured by life. Live life to lift up those around, that's the greatest meaning of life you can find.”

“What is Truth (The Sonnet) There is not one but two truths, truth of facts and truth of good. Truth of facts is worth the honor, when it serves the truth of good. Truth of facts thrives on logic, an effective antidote to prejudice. Where it sucks the sweetness of life, truth of facts is carrier of malice. Truth of facts is carrier of logic, Truth of good is carrier of life. Often times they cohabit the mind, sometimes facts only undermine life. Pride of truth is the good it does, without which all facts are futile. Truth of good is truth absolute, absence of heart makes logic vile.”

“Only goodness can understand and measure the highest and the deepest truths because it is never satisfied with the sheer power of winning but only with the power of real power, the truth itself, represented in the best possible way. If the measure of power is not accurate, then that is an illusion or abuse of power, which can be measured and felt (unfortunately) by other humans but is not a real measure of real power.”
