Here is the true meaning and value of compassion and nonviolence, when it helps us to see the enemy's point of view, to hear his questions, to know his assessment of ourselves.

PESAN SEORANG AYAH KEPADA ANAK LELAKI: Kau harus berani mengatakan "tidak" untuk yang salah dan "ya" untuk yang benar. Kau harus melindungi martabat rumahmu dengan menjaga saudara-saudara perempuanmu dan ibumu. Kau harus berani melindungi yang tertindas. Dan jika kau berkeluarga nanti, kau sudah mati sebagai lelaki, tapi kau berganti menjadi suami dan ayah. Kau harus selalu pulang ke rumah dan mengabdi kepada istri dan anak-anakmu. Kau harus bekerja dan menafkahi mereka. Kau harus jadi ayah dan suami yang bisa menjaga kehormatan mereka. ↗

Love is beyond reason. Love is not measurable in words. Love cannot be partial; it cannot have owners. Love is essentially beyond definition or concept. ↗
