beautiful space blue
When seen from outer space, our beautiful blue planet has no national boundaries.
war blood people
In olden times when there was a war, it was a human-to-human confrontation. The victor in battle would directly see the blood and suffering of the defeated enemy. Nowadays, it is much more terrifying because a person in an office can push a button and kill millions of people and never see the human tragedy that he or she has created. The mechanization of war, the mechanization of human conflict, poses an increasing threat to peace.
war believe technology
It is my belief that whereas the twentieth century has been a century of war and untold suffering, the twenty-first century should be one of peace and dialogue. As the continued advances in information technology make our world a truly global village, I believe there will come a time when war and armed conflict will be considered an outdated and obsolete method of settling differences among nations and communities.
helping-others black violence
Black Power If the motive is good, and there are no other possibilities, then seen most deeply it [violence] is nonviolence, because its aim is to help others.
gun power government
Chairman Mao once said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. He was only partly right: power that comes from the barrel of a gun can be effective only for a short time. In the end, peoples love for truth, justice, freedom, and democracy will triumph. No matter what governments do, the human spirit will always prevail.
death ideas two
To my mind, there are two things that, in life, you can do about death. Either you can choose to ignore it, in which case you may have some success in making the idea of it go away for a limited period of time, or you can confront the prospect of your own death and try to analyze it and, in so doing, try to minimize some of the inevitable suffering that it causes. Neither way can you actually overcome it.
death views clothes
I hold the view that death is rather like changing one's clothes when they are torn and old. It is not an end in itself. Yet death is unpredictable-you do not know when and howT it will take place.
pain joy feelings
Where there is a mind, there are feelings such as pain, pleasure, and joy. No sentient being wants pain: all wants happiness instead.
common-sense way humans
There must be a way of promoting human values without involving religion, based on common sense, experience and recent scientific findings.
needs ends needs-of-others
By being inattentive to the needs of others, inevitably we end up harming them.
lying community world
In the modern world, the interests of a particular community can no longer be considered to lie within the confines of its own boundaries.
responsibility keys survival
Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.
communication common confrontation
We have global communication and yet confrontation is more common than dialogue.
animal suffering social
We are social animals. Others' suffering is ultimately your suffering; their happiness is ultimately your happiness.
