“When human beings act, they inevitably synthesise memories of the past into new expectations and mental images for the future, regarding the different stages in the action process they will follow. The future is never predetermined, but instead the actor imagines, creates and builds it step by step. Therefore, the future is always uncertain, since it has yet to be done or built, and the only part of it the actor possesses consists of specific ideas, mental images or expectations he hopes to realise through the completion of stages he imagines.”

“The condition of Afghanistan after the U.S war was appalling. The World Food Programme warned that by the end of 2021, 98 per cent of Afghans were not getting enough to eat, with millions facing starvation. By september 2023, the WFP claimed that they were nearly out of rescources and were "obliged to choose between the hungry and the starving, leaving millions of families scrambling for thier next meal." News reports out of Afghanistan are heartbreaking. There has been a significant rise in child labour as kids are sent to work to help feed families, doing jobs like picking through garbage. Some parents have been forced to sell one of their children in order to feed their other children. Others have had to sell their own organs or their children's organs.”

“I am not such a fool as to believe that war is a thing of the past. I know people do not want war, but there is no use in saying we cannot be pushed into another war”

“Those who clamour so loudly for less work and more pay may find that the benefit they get now will have to be paid for at a thousand percent interest some day in the future.A payment in misery and hunger and suffering. If we are to steer off the reef of national disaster, then men will have to learn to work again, and to take seriously once more the demands of a disciplined and orderly society.”
