There is no "one" person who bends history; we are all going to have to do this job. The good news is that we can do it. We do not have to wait for the politicians; we are lucky enough to be living in an age where we have the capacities, technologies and tools to... Continue Reading →
rehumanization of politics
If I may, I like to make a point about Republicans. I have nothing against those that are of this political party. I have some really cool awesome loyal friends that are republicans. Although I might disagree with their proposed solutions or ideology in resolving issues or implementing necessary solutions yet I am in support of their... Continue Reading →
We must change our lives
We have been wrong. We must change our lives, so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption that what is good for the world will be good or us. And that requires that we make the effort to know the world and to learn what is good for it. We must... Continue Reading →
perfect description of the system
"An unfettered pursuit of money rules. The service of the common good is left behind. Once capital becomes an idol and guides people's decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire socioeconomic system, it ruins society, it condemns and enslaves men and women, it destroys human fraternity, it sets people against one another and,...

man must find out for himself…
“He had learned some of the things that every man must find out for himself, and he had found out about them as one has to find out--through error and through trial, through fantasy and illusion, through falsehood and his own damn foolishness, through being mistaken and wrong and an idiot and egotistical and aspiring...

it doesn’t interest me…
“It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for... Continue Reading →
