We do not need to be something that we are not. We can, you know, handle whatever lands on our plate totally peaceful. And you know, there are so many wars in the world. The world is crazy.

I can help them. I can listen to them in a different way. And then the world becomes kinder. My world becomes kinder and the world around me. You need first to become aware of it.
