“What needs to be appreciated in this respect is the extent to which young minds are affected by the choices parents make for their own lives, when, no matter how unintentionally, no matter how innocently, such choices condone the passions of the world; its admiration for power, its adoration of status, its love of luxuries, its attachment to frivolous pursuits, its glorification of violence, and its obsession with self-gratification. It must be realized that the isolation and despair from which so many suffer are products of an environment ruled by an all-pervasive materialism.”

Thinking of you is beautiful
and hopeful,
like listening to the best voice in the world
sing the loveliest song.
But hope is not enough for me any more:
I no longer want to listen
I want to sing…
