“Our current gun culture simply ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the ultimate tragedy, and that more convenience-store confrontations over loud music coming from a car will leave more teenage boys bloodied and dead... What I believe is, if he [Belcher] didn’t possess/own a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today... Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate arguments, and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it.” IfsBelieveEndsTodayCultureI BelieveBoysAliveCarGunArgumentUltimateTragedySafetyCurrentsStoresLoudFlawsAvoidingTeenageDisputesConvenienceConfrontationLive For TodayBaitHandgunsLoud MusicGun Culture Author:Bob Costas

“I think we have to go through everything we go through in our life, and I believe my purpose in life was to teach self-reliance. So I had the experience of relying on myself very early in life in order to have that knowing, because otherwise I would've just read about it. I think of it now as a great advantage that I had. It certainly taught me to rely upon myself at a very young age. And that's what I've been teaching since I was a little boy.” ThinkingBelieveLittlesSelfAgeYoungPurposeOrderI BelieveBoysTeachKnowingOur LivesTeachingTaughtAdvantageRelyPurpose Of LifeSelf RelianceRelianceYoung AgeLittle BoysRely Upon Author:Wayne Dyer
“I believe that at the beginning of the life of every artist there is some kind of trauma. We have a problem and all of our life we try to speak about this problem. My trauma was historical. When I was three or four, all the friends of my parents were survivors of the Holocaust; they spoke a lot about that. My father was hiding during the war, it was something totally present when I was a boy. It is sure that it has made me.” TryingBelieveKindMadeWarProblemArtistThreeFatherSpeakI BelieveParentBoysFourOur LivesHistoricalTraumaSpokesSurvivorHidingHolocaust Author:Christian Boltanski
