i'm an enigma wrapped inside of a puzzle served with a side of sweetness and a tall glass of shut the hell up."what has violence ever accomplished, what has it ever created? whenever any american's life is taken by another american unessisarily, whether it is taken in the name of the law or in defiance of the law, by one man, or by a gang, in cold blood or in passion, in attack of violence or in respose to violence....the whole nation is degraded...too often we honor swagger and bluster....but this much is clear, violence breeds violence, repression breeds retaliation, and only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our souls. for when you teach a man to hate and to fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his color or his beliefs or the policies he pursues. when you teach that those who differ from you threaten your freedom or your job or your home or your family, then you also learn how to confront others, not as fellow citizens but as enemies. to be met not w/ cooperation, but with conquest, to be subjegated and to be mastered. we learn...to look at our brothers as alien men w/ whom we share a city, but not a community. men bound to us in commone dwelling but not in a common effort. we learn to share only a common fear. only a common desire to retreat from each other. of course we cannot banish w/ a program or a resolution, but we can perhaps remember, if only for a time, that those who live w/ us are our brothers, that they share w/ us the same short moment of life that they seek, as do we, nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and in happiness winning what satisfaction and fulfillment they can. ....surely we can work a little harder to bind up the wounds among us and to become in our hearts brothers and countrymen once again." - RFK"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." - Gandhi
