We should spend time walking together, eating together, making acquaintance, telling each other about our own suffering, without blame or condemnation.

So if I am to organize a peace negotiation, I will organize it in that way.”

“When we come together and appreciate each other, that's always a positive thing; a step in the right direction. That is what the NAACP Image Awards do.

But the real reality is we haven't loved and appreciated our own accomplishments.”
“When we come under the spell of the deeper domain of technology, its economic character and even its power aspect fascinate us less than its playful side. Then we realize we that we are involved in a play, a dance of the spirit, which cannot be grasped by calculation. What is ultimately left for science is intuition alone - a call of destiny.
This playful feature manifests itself more clearly in small things than in the gigantic works of our world. The crude observer can only be impressed by large quantities - chiefly when they are in motion - and yet there are as many organs in a fly as in a leviathan.”

because we seek fellowship with Him and His will more than things and above our own
desires.”

“When we commit to the easy way --- planting one kind of anything --- we gamble. It is simpler, isn't it, to know and promote only a few flowers or trees or grasses for our landscape? We know what they will look like, their requirements and habits. It's more comfortable. A no-brainer. But when we do, we lose the benefits of a vibrant, healthy landscape teeming with different trees, plants and their associated animals, birds, and insects. We lose diversity.”

“When we compare taxation to private theft, the parallels become evident. If a private entity were to demand money under threat of violence, it would be labeled as extortion or robbery, which are forms of theft.

The distinction lies in perception, a perception that is shaped by propaganda and fallacious education. Yet, from a moral perspective, the act remains the same: taking one’s property without voluntary agreement, a hallmark of theft.”

“When we confront a work of art we listen for the artist's voice. The greater the artist, the stronger and more distinct is the voice we hear.
Only Mozart sounds like Mozart, only Hemingway sounds like Hemingway. This is one of the chief satisfactions of the artistic experience: to hear a voice speaking as only that voice can speak. And when the voice is exceptionally strong, it can exalt its material and allow us to experience the rarest of joys: that of transcendence.”

After all, we are all the same humans who have evolved through millions of years of evolution on this earth. All I am doing through my activism is showing the world that how we all share the same humanity regardless of our skin color, nationality or religion.
Division only creates more division and inclusion is the only way we can move forward as a civilization. It is time to include North Koreans to join our beautiful and compassionate free world.”
