A Person Fully Awakened To The Jewel-like

Having Lived Through The Transition From Totalitarianism, I Am Acutely Mindful Of The Need To Never Take For Granted The Basic Freedoms Of Thought, Expression And Belief That Democracy Brings.

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.

The Course Of Our Lives Is Determined By How We React--what We Decide And What We Do--at The Darkest Of Times. The Nature Of That Response Determines A Person's True Worth And Greatness.

Our Hopes, Desires And Ambitions Are Powerful Forces Existing Within Us For The Shaping Of The Future. They Are The Generating Forces That Create The Future.

Likewise, Education Can Direct People Toward Good Or Evil Ends. When Education Is Based On A Fundamentally Distorted Worldview, The Results Are Horrific.
