We can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference.

Poverty is not an accident.
Like slavery and apartheid it is man-made and can be removed by the actions of human beings.

One of Mandela's Team of International Lawyers Irwin Cotler - Member of Parliment Canada In the 1980s while still a student,I was into world music and was turned on to Johnny Clegg's music. I also learned what was happening in South Africa. Something clicked. Along with many friends, we went to anti-apartheid demonstrations and free Nelson Mandela concerts. Petitions, letters, you name it. | Speech in Toronto Canada for the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund After he was free, Madiba made many visits to Canada. In Montreal in the 1990s, I had the privilege to be in the crowd to hear him speak in person. |
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
Nelson Mandela
 | "No one is born hating another person because of the colour of their skin, or his background or his religion. People 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"  Like a wise father Nelson (Madiba) Mandela has educated us all. |

 | The Spirit Of The Great Heart You Can Make A Difference  |
| In our sheer preoccupation with technology, we do not realize the inherent artistic choices when creating technology... and the questioning and reflection that the process of creating art implies. -Tapan  You just have to notice and care...  Arete (Ancient Greek: ἀρετή), in its basic sense, means excellence of any kind. In its earliest appearance in Greek, this notion of excellence was ultimately bound up with the notion of the fulfillment of purpose or function: the act of living up to one's full potential. Sometimes translated as "virtue," the word actually means something closer to "being the best you can be," or "reaching your highest human potential." Arete in ancient Greek culture was courage and strength in the face of adversity and it was to what all people aspired. Aristotle called contemplation of this a means to the highest human ability and happiness." (Wikipedia)  | You Can Care More, But Can You Care Less? The Heart is a Muscle  It Strengthens with Use  (I could care less vs I couldn't care less)  as soon as you start to give a damn  |
You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject & verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. Martin Luther King, Jr.  |  Excerpt from The Star Thrower "On a point of land, I found the star thrower... I spoke once briefly. "I understand," I said. "Call me another thrower." Only then I allowed myself to think, He is not alone any longer. After us, there will be others... We were part of the rainbow... Perhaps far outward on the rim of space a genuine star was similarly seized and flung... For a moment, we cast on an infinite beach together beside an unknown hurler of suns... We had lost our way, I thought, but we had kept, some of us, the memory of the perfect circle of compassion from life to death and back to life again - the completion of the rainbow of existence."

Enjoy.
