Political Illiteracy

The worst illiterate is the political illiterate. He hears nothing, sees nothing, and takes no part in political life. He doesn’t seem to know that the cost of living, the price of beans, of flour, of rent, of medicines all depend on political decisions. He even prides himself on his political ignorance, sticks out his chest and says he hates politics.

He doesn’t know, the imbecile, that from his political non-participation comes the prostitute, the abandoned child, the robber and worst of all, corrupt officials, and the lackeys of exploitative multinational corporations. May we be granted the grace and wisdom, to abhor all forms of political illiteracy and ignorance!

Our True Power

We will continue to suffer if we have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to us. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. True power is restraint. If we allow words control us, it means everyone else can control us. May we be granted the grace and wisdom, to breathe and allow things to pass!

Our Problem

Our problem is not, “Civil Disobedience.” Our problem is, “Civil Obedience.” Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty, starvation, stupidity, war, and cruelty.

Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and the grand thieves are running the country. That is our problem. May we be granted the grace and wisdom, to address our problem!
