“We have conquered or quelled many diseases that used to kill people in droves: smallpox, measles, polio and the plague. People are taller, and formerly life-threating conditions like appendicitis, dysentery, a broken leg or anemia are easily remedied. To be sure, there is still too much malnutrition and disease in some countries, but these evils are often the result of bad government and social inequality, not a lack of food or medical know how.”

“Economics professor Chris Doucouliagos from Deakin University reported in 2017 that poverty does not, in fact, encourage people to 'strive more' and compete for wealth. Rather, economic inequality impedes access to education and training. Poverty - or the threat of it - removes the material means required for people to experiment and innovate in jobs or with businesses, or discourages them from taking that kind of financial risk. Insecure work conditions exacerbate this effect, as workers fight changes - like automation, or climate transition mechanisms - they perceive as threatening their income stream.”

“Cung said, “I have researched Vietnamese People fleeing to the land of the Uc da Loi! On the 26th of April 1976, the first boat carrying Vietnamese refugees arrived in Darwin. (Uc da Loi means Big Red Rat. The Vietnamese People named Australians as such because of the red kangaroo painted on the sides of Australian military vehicles. They did not know what a kangaroo was and so, they thought it was a rat. Hence the name of Uc da Loi.)”

“When you look at yourself, you catch a fleeting glimpse of a moment in eternity, as if peering into the infinite flow of time through the lens of your own existence. But when you look within yourself, delving deep into the core of your being, you uncover the profound truth that eternity resides within each passing moment. In that single heartbeat of your life, you can find the vastness of the universe, where time dissolves and every experience, emotion, and thought connects you to the boundless essence of existence.”

“Self-appointed defenders of freedom seem to know nothing of the loss of liberty attendant upon seriously adverse economic conditions. No regimentation is more cruel than that of extreme poverty. The cramped and barren lives of millions of sharecroppers in the southern states, the deplorable conditions in some of the coal-mining areas, the slum districts in almost any large city, are a pitiful contradiction to our boasted 'inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

“Soul worker: [...] To find peace: it meant she had to stop scorning the souls around her hooked on drugs, reproducing countless babies, living on welfare. Instead she had to minister to their souls, give them dignity by showing basic love and kindness. Her mission was not to save them, help them, change them - just simply to salute the good within them. That is the job of a soul worker. And when people do their job and fulfill their spiritual goals, they become peaceful and secure. Joy wells up from within.”
