well said Dawn....no prawn salted fish oso gooda....sure or not,,,,keke...... Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. William Yeats, Nobel Prize (1923) (Letters to Maud Gonne – Always Your Friend)

"Mahatma Gandhi's life achievement stands unique in political history. He has invented a completely new and humane means for the liberation war of an oppressed country, and practised it with greatest energy and devotion. The moral influence he had on the consciously thinking human being of the entire civilized world will probably be much more lasting than it seems in our time with its overestimation of brutal violent forces. Because lasting will only be the work of such statesmen who wake up and strengthen the moral power of their people through their example and educational works. We may all be happy and grateful that destiny gifted us with such an enlightened contemporary, a role model for the generations to come." - Albert Einstein, Nobel Prize in Physics (1921)

"I am mindful that I might not be standing before you today, as President of the United States, had it not been for Gandhi and the message he shared with America and the world." - Barack Hussein Obama in an address to a Joint Session of the Parliament of India, 2010; Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize (2009)

"In the end, truth cannot really be separated from sincerity and goodwill. I cannot claim that in every situation I am able to see the truth. But one does one’s best to be sincere in evaluating a situation, making an honest distinction between what is right and what is not. If you do so you are on the side of truth. But truth is a large concept. Pure truth, absolute truth, is beyond ordinary beings like us because we cannot see things absolutely and as a whole. But we try our best. I think of all of us who are on the side of truth as struggling towards it, rather than in full possession of it. Truth is something towards which we struggle all the time." Aung San Suu Kyi – The Princess from Burma Winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace (1991) Congratulations to the people of Burma! It is a triumph of truth back to Suu Kyi's people...what a rare and exceptional woman fighting all her life for the engagement and restoration of truth for her people....
-
a renowned Asian politician made a remark that its better for Aung San Suu Kyi to remain a symbolic power.... But if Suu Kyi had remained such a symbolic power behind the fence without enaging her people towards their liberation, Burma will only continue in its illusion as a country under the oppression of truth... Aung San Suu Kyi has clearly illustrated and risk her life to show the living the importance of engaged truth under the light of Buddhism .... losing her beloved husband and lost touch with her children in the process of her non-violent struggle for the restoration of truth for her people.... it is not only a moment of triumph, but a great revelation for generations to remember!

Peace, in reality, means harmony achieved through NON-VIOLENT ACTIONS than receding to its own quiet abyss... As proven many times in the history of humanity, the paradox of civilization also means lives are sacrificed in exchange for the betterment of future and the progress of truths. - Fcukpap

Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact. - Honore de Balzac

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting. - Prince Siddartha Gautama
-
A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. - John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963, Assassinated)
-
The best proof of love is trust. - Dr Joyce Brothers And the best way to show trust is laying bare all vulnerabilities in the search for truth. - Fcukpap

To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. - William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616). Poet and Playwright - The greatest writer who has reinvented humans with great fiery imagination and passion.

心是一个人的翅膀，心有多大，世界就有多大。
很多时候é™�制我们的，ä¸�是周é�的环境，
...
也�是他人的言行，而是我们自己。
看�开�忘�了�放�下，
把自己囚�在�暗的记忆里；�敢想��自信��行动，
把自己局�在固定的空间里
如果ä¸�èƒ½æ‰“ç ´å¿ƒçš„ç¦�锢，å�³ä½¿ç»™ä½ æ•´ä¸ªå¤©ç©ºï¼Œä½ ä¹Ÿæ‰¾ä¸�到自由的感觉。

The language of truth is itself truth without its language or semanticism- the nature of existence is as it is. It is a tale of blind men and the elephant - each has different descriptions and conceptions of the elephant...all is right in his own context but none is right afterall. Euthanasia is a controversial issue of whether it is morally right or wrong. Because we are humans, and the process of sensory pain is unbearable to the person dying and to the person seeing pain and death. Thus, human necessity created methods to end all pain and sufferings. In the end, humans destroy himself through his own conceptions.
