I have poked into every dark recess, I have made an assault on every problem, I have plunged into every abyss.
I have scrutinised the creed of every sect, I have tried to lay bare the inmost doctrines of every community.

For I do not seek to understand in order to have faith but I have faith in order to understand.
For I believe even this.
I shall not understand unless I have faith.

It is not because men’s desires are strong that they act ill.
It is because their consciences are weak.

He who is content in his poverty is wonderfully rich

I just watch what they do.

Without spiritual values, there is an emptiness that cannot be filled by material goods and wealth.
When you go into court you are putting your fate in the hands of twelve people who weren’t smart enough to get out of jury duty.
There’s a reason why everybody lies.
It works.
It’s what allows society to function.
It’s what separates man from beasts.
When you care about someone, you lie to them.
When there’s nothing more to be said, some idiot will say it.
Very few people see their own actions as truly evil.
It is left to their victims to decide what is evil and what is not.

But I will defend your right to say it.

But we waste time, so we are quits.
I am not a product of my circumstances.
I am a product of my decisions.

Many die on the way, but throughout history, good always defeats evil.
When someone else’s happiness is your happiness, that is caring, that is kind, that is compassion, that is human.
The idiots who worship a God that condones the persecution of animals and fellow humans, are too dim to realise it’s the Devil in disguise.
Believing that a loving God cares only for people of one “religion”, and pretending or claiming to know His wishes, makes you pretty stupid.

Then your mind might be free.

You’ll grow out of it.
I Have A Dream Today ..
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
( Martin Luther King, Lincoln Memorial, Washington DC, August 28, 1963 )
