“There is nothing wrong with being Human. What is wrong is how so many take for granted the gift of our being human and never learn that we are also to be HUMANE, hence our HUMANITY. We are born Man but it takes years of education, trial and error to be TRULY HUMAN. It takes an ability to see beyond yourself, and to be able to RELINQUISH YOUR EGO And that is something that far too many neglects to consider in their chase for life, liberty and the pursuit of PRODUCTS. Things can never make us happy and the accumulation of wealth only aids in separating us from our common cause to be ONE SOCIETY. ONE RACE. ONE MANKIND. Until we are equal and able to see eye to eye with our most base concerns of housing, Food, education and financial well-being solved, we shall never have a society of ONE!”

“It is in difficult times we must remember that whatever burden we carry,it can make us stronger and build more character in us.We don’t grow from an easy life. Ease makes us like cattle sitting in the field and grazing.Existing without purpose or drive or desire.When pain or complications come to us, that is when we must become ALIVE.Our intellects begin to function at full power.We have desire and drive and acquire the power to CREATE solutions to these complications.We are no longer cattle. We stand up and become MEN of action!”

“I ask myself questions. Questions that may not have answers.Questions that may have answers too frightening to face.But I believe that no knowledge should be forbidden but it is in the use of certain types of knowledge that should not be used under specific circumstances. Can our desire to understand all things be also a desire to bring about our own destruction or our salvation? What is forbidden knowledge? What should be left unknown and considered unknowable? I ask myself questions.”

“Education has turned into a cookie mill. everyone recieves the same degree, the same council, the same formula of inspiration and ideas to make them a MODEL of an educated being. But that is the problem. No 2 people are alike so why subscribe to a system that makes everyone EXACTLY alike? A system that will never recognize the individual or a persons uniqueness? We must re-train our brains to think and not merely respond to a set of patterns that we have been TRAINED to act on. We must learn to think more creatively, See with new eyes and view the symbols of the world around us with a wider scope of view.”

“Revenge is an ugly thing. “He who seeks revenge digs two graves” I only say this because there are circumstances of life where JUSTICE IS NOT ENOUGH OR JUSTICE CAN’T BE HANDED DOWN. Those circumstances require to be AVENGED. This is when you MUST INFLICT PENALTY OR PUNISHMENT for that pain or harm done to you or another. To avenge a wrong is to seek vengeance or revenge. To make right that which was done wrong especially if that wrong caused grievous harm to you or another. This is a situation where vengeance or to avenge or to seek revenge is RIGHT AND JUST!. My explanation also should put some clarity on the old saying “Revenge is a dish best served COLD!”

“I have found the temperament of being a thoughtful man is sometimes excruciatingly painful. People become accustomed to the fact that your kindness is part of your personality and therefore any action you take will be based on being civil minded toward others and seemingly not wanting to disappoint anyone. This is of course the wrong view. Being thoughtful does not mean you are a pushover or a stuck in the mud type, seemingly stationary in your attitudes and ambitions. It means you take the time to have consideration of events and people around you. You do not make hasty decisions based solely on observation or emotion. Analysis is a tool for the thoughtful individual”
