Sometimes people are smart and beautiful in just of their words. Sometimes, they open their mouth like rain of wisdom but they are garbage in action. All of them are not what they are pretending to say. Some people convey useless words by their tongues or pens in more attractive ways. They are Satan of a human form because they can enable to change their real face like devils can do. Some people open their ears with passion and excitement to accept the painless torn from these devil-like people. ↗

The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it. ↗

Peace requires something far more difficult than revenge or merely turning the other cheek; it requires empathizing with the fears and unmet needs that provide the impetus for people to attack each other. Being aware of these feelings and needs, people lose their desire to attack back because they can see the human ignorance leading to these attacks; instead, their goal becomes providing the empathic connection and education that will enable them to transcend their violence and engage in cooperative relationships. ↗
