• The problems of this world are so gigantic that some are paralysed by their own uncertainty. Courage and wisdom are needed to reach out above this sense of helplessness. Desire for vengeance against deeds of hatred offers no solution. An eye for an eye makes the world blind.

The values for which we stand must be expressed in the way we think of, and how we deal with, our fellow humans.
