We can make this a more peaceful century if we cherish non-violence and concern for others’ well-being. It is possible. If the individual is happier, his or her family is happier if families are happy, neighborhoods and nations will be happy. By transforming ourselves we can change our human way of life and make this a century of compassion.

If we only indulge in sensory pleasure, we'll be little different from animals. In fact, we have this marvellous brain and intelligence we must learn to use it.
