"'Wherever something stands, something else will stand beside it' — Ibo Proverb — "It means there is no one way to anything...If there is one God, fine. There will be others as well. If there is one point of view, fine. There will be a second point of view."
-- Chinua Achebe

Caption: I do believe in freedom of speech as long as it honors itself with respect for every living being including our selves. Without respect, freedom can threaten the rights of others, and morph into violation of others'rights. Freedom of expression should not mean an assault on the sensitivity or sensibility of another's view or beliefs. Does anyone out there wish to allow that freedom comes with the price tag of self discipline? What a small price to pay. And when paying that price, isn't that a good time to turn inward and dwell upon our common thread, our common Source? And in so doing, aren't we then acknowledging our very sacred connection to the universe? We are call capable of this but we don't all give ourselves credit for having this ability. If schools would focus totally on ethics and creativity, the world would be a better place and freedom of speech would become a given.

Caption: This not a new Idea, Hegle said it first except it he said, every time there is one concept, it always brings up it's contradiction and then hopefully you can work out the synthesis which is morally superior to the first two ideas. It is the problem with the duality of nature. God is or isn't. Now thats a point of view!

Caption: I enjoy short dictums; they engender like response. 'Difference is the dim passageway to conflict'
