You certainly have found a wealth of beautiful and uplifting quotes. It's good to be reminded that there is another way, without the need for guns.

Very nice. Gandhi certainly had a lot to say about that. An individual's drive to support oneself and one's community should be primary. Hope you are doing well.

Everyday I see those monks in Myanmar marching down the street I am deeply inspired and ashamed at my self for lack of activism.

But when I feel like that, I remind myself of this quote from Camus:

The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Great quote. And so true. Sometimes it seems so hard to find peace with another person, but the alternative is more painful.
