“Men create their own evil every time they awaken. On a small scale they partake in a million wicked acts every day in the form of lies, cheating, swindling, laziness, debauchery, and rage. Every so often they create major depravities such as slavery, large-scale war, genocide, and the like.”

“At the end of the day, even those of us who have never fought in a war have battle scars, visible and invisible, repressed and haunting, external and internal, public and confidential. Regrets can cling to our souls like invasive dew. A spirit dropped by adversity, if encouraged by hope and driven by resolve, can be reborn. For when we stand up after each failing, molded by the courage to endeavor again, a new version of ourselves does rise.”

“Love is always a risk in all its forms and depths. Love is confronting uncertainty and the possibility of rejection and affection’s demise. Love is laughing at the precariousness and taking the plunge anyway. Love can be painful. Love anyway. Death is certain. Live anyway. Swim in the immersive uncertainty and decide to be vibrant and happy with each moment gifted to us.”

“The significance of each change of season is easily buried in the smallest of life’s mundanities and trivialities. Yet, the true consequence of time’s passage is there, blaring within the subtle disguise of a whisper for all who would listen.”
