We must learn to speak out so that the voice our Soul can
be heard in this dangerous and pivotal moment of history. Those
of us who have the light should display the light and offer it so
that the world will not sink into total darkness. Everyone has the
seed of awakening and insight within his or her heart. Let us
help each other touch these seeds in ourselves so that everyone
could have the courage to speak out. We must ensure that the
way we live our daily lives (with or without mindful consumption,
with or without discrimination, with or without participating in
injustice, ...) does not create more terrorism in the world. We
need a collective awakening to stop this course of
self-destruction. (Thich Nhat Hanh)
