“What we need most is to restore and revive our humanity. We must create a society where people can live with dignity, a society where people can live in peace and happiness. People are tired of games played for power and profit. People are tired of hatred and conflict. They want to live with more wisdom and confidence, and in peace. It may seem like a long and distant path, but I am convinced that the 21st century must see a movement to sow the seeds of peace, happiness and trust in every person's heart. The seeds of a truly humane way of life. I am convinced this is the only path.” PeopleWayWantNeedsHeartMayPersonsLongSeemsHumanityGamesPathCenturyMovementConflictDignityHatredTiredProfitSeedsConvinced21st CenturyHumaneRevivePeace And HappinessHumane Way Author:Daisaku Ikeda
