“Die Menschen brachten einander seit 200000 Jahren gegenseitig um und hatten immer Angst vor dem Eindringen anderer Gruppen. Diese permanente Angst sorgte für einen nahezu paranoiden Zustand und führte dazu, dass die Menschen zu ihrer Verteidigung Staaten erschufen. Wir finden niemals absoluten Frieden, weil in jedem von uns die feste Überzeugung wohnt, der »Andere« sei gefährlich. Jeder Mensch ist bereit, andere zu verletzen, um ihnen Essen, Ressourcen und Land zu entreißen. Wir projizieren unser wahres Selbst auf unsere Feinde, wir fürchten und attackieren sie. Und beim Einsatz von Gewalt gegen andere sind Nation und Religion unterstützende Systeme, die unsere Handlungen rechtfertigen. Unsere bösen Taten sind verzeihlich, weil die Menschen außerhalb dieses Rahmens Fremde sind. Feinde.”

“The Dream I Dream For You, My Child ... I hope you search for four-leaf clovers, grin back at Cheshire moons, breathe in the springtime breezes, and dance with summer loons. I hope you gaze in wide-eyed wonder at the buzzing firefly and rest beneath the sunlit trees as butterflies fly by. I hope you gather simple treasures of pebbles, twigs, and leaves and marvel at the fragile web the tiny spider weaves. I hope you read poetry and fairy tales and sing silly, made-up songs, and pretend to be a superhero righting this world's wrongs. I hope your days are filled with magic and your nights with happy dreams, and you grow up knowing that happiness is found in simple things. The dream I dream for you, my child, as you discover, learn, and grow, is that you find these simple joys wherever in life you go.”
