One cannot, without reflection, make some into bearers of goodness and others into miscreants, judging them by relative positive or negative criteria. These, like everything else, change according to historical circumstances, the character of a society, the time and subjective points of view.
Daisaku IkedaNo one can live entirely on their own, nor can any country or society exist in isolation.
Daisaku IkedaAll people have a natural desire to be needed, to have their importance to others tangibly confirmed.
Daisaku IkedaWhen one takes action for others, one's own suffering is transformed into the energy that can keep one moving forward; a light of hope illuminating a new tomorrow for oneself and others is kindled.
