I really wish I could save the world. My heart is aching.

I think it’s good to claim your ethnic identity and your racial identity. But it’s also the source of all the wars and all the violence, all these borders and walls people erect. I’m tired of borders and I’m tired of walls. […] I don’t believe that we’re better than people in India or that we’re different from people in Ethiopia. One billion people go to bed hungry every night. […] There are droughts in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Eastern Africa. […] People are dying every day. And then people talk about being proud to be American, Mexican, or Indian. We have grown beyond that. We are specks from this cosmic ocean, the soul, or whatever. We’re not better than people from Africa or people from Russia. If something happens to the people in India or Africa-and they’re starving to death and dying-then that’s happening to us too.

A day of peace.

Challenge for today:
Rule #1.
Say not a single unkind thing about anyone or anything. If at all possible, try not to even think a nasty thought. If we do, reflect on why it was that we thought to say it in the first place.

Rule #2.
…Show everyone we cross paths with some genuine human compassion. Be it with a smile or kind words, just spread some love.

Rule #3.
Make not one person the exception to the rule.
