A CHOICE: POVERTY OR PROSPERITY
"I HATED POVERTY. POVERTY IS MORE OF A CHOICE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, AND I CAN CHANGE THAT. IT DEPENDS UPON HOW HARD I WANT TO WORK, AND I DECIDED THAT I WOULD CHANGE IT."
DR. BEN CARSON
REFLECTION: IF THERE IS BEAUTY IN CHARACTER, THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE WORLD. THIS IS ONLY PARTLY TRUE. AS LONG AS HUMANS LIVE, THERE WILL NOT BE PEACE. HUMANS EXPERIENCE ANGER AND ENVY; WE STOP OURSELVES FROM ACHIEVING PEACE. THIS IS WHY THE PHRASE "WE ARE ONLY HUMAN" BOTHERS ME SO MUCH. IT IMPLIES THAT WE HAVE PEAKED IN HUMAN EVOLUTION, AND THE ONLY WAY WE CAN CREATE CHANGE IS IF WE OURSELVES CEASE TO EXIST.
