Smiling is very important. If we are not able to smile, then the world will not have peace. It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles that we can bring about peace. It is with our capacity of smiling, breathing, and being peace that we can make peace. ↗

I don't think that when Zionism began there was a claim that we were losing - even in part - our capacity to contribute to other peoples. ↗
