"If we have any chance at all,
then this is our chance:
That we become calm.
That our loud, busy, noisy, consuming
and aggressive behavior
towards each other slows down,
or even stops.
That we become aware of what we are
and what we are doing.
If we don't learn to be
more compassionate and wiser beings,
then it's good that we disappear.
The sooner the better.
The rest of creation will
breathe a sigh of relief
when we are gone."
— Vajna Palmer
