What difference will you make…
If words could change our world, we would have been saved on October 15, 1940.*
Good things may take time, and big changes may even cross the Millenium.
Yet don’t we all think, 70 years are enough time to THINK TWICE and start acting … ?!
What difference will *you* make on October 15, 2011 ?

Free Hugs
Apologies – but I simply cannot resist in posting this over again – but I wanted to make sure we all share this … and above all, I wanted to make myself a special present for a special day:
There has never been a single time that this video did not touch my heart, and I’d be surprised there is any single person who has not lost their key to their hearts, that would not feel enchanted by the simple message this campaign conveys: we are all just human, and we all need each other … once in a while, for a hug!
Free Hugs Campaign (with music from Sick Puppies)
Dedicated to all those, who did not forget about the place in their heart that was made to connect with people…
For those who would like to look up the background of this real life story, pls visit Wikipedia at the below link. It will explain all you need to know, and possibly hook you up for your own localized version of the Free Hugs Campaign.
Lebensqualität
“Die Qualität im Leben zeigt sich selten im Besitz der großen Dinge, aber oft im Erleben der ganz Kleinen.”
– Marcus Pietrzak
Love your enemies
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
Have a good week, and hope that every envious laughter you earn will be a signpost of your path to success!
Strength
“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
On being violent
Is there a right moment for being violent? Is violence a viable way to peace?
Mahatma Gandhi supposedly said: “It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.”
Isn’t this more about authenticity, than about violence? And isn’t this equally about calming the violence in the heart, than to put it into the sheeps coat?
Keep the faith in humanity
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
It would be a good idea
My most favorite Gandhi quote: “I think it would be a good idea.”
– This is what Mahatma Gandhi replied, when asked what he thought of Western civilization.
(Isn’t this brutally honest from a man so peaceful in such non-violent words.)
