Recent events in our nation and in the world demonstrate even
more the need to reach out and actively voice love and acceptance. We
start with our families and friends as well as each other and those we interact
with on a daily basis.
Here are four of my top heroes in life and a quote from each
on this topic.
No one is born hating another person because of the color
of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to
hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes
more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. – Nelson Mandela
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an
ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. –
Mahatma Gandhi
It is time for parents to teach young people early on
that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength. – Maya
Angelou
If we are to have peace on earth…our loyalties must
transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we
must develop a world perspective. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Here is wishing each of you peace in a time of turmoil.
Namaste,
PS: true translation of Namaste is “I bow to you.”
