Individuality doesn't just mean individualism-standing alone. It means developing one's unique gifts, and being able to share them for the enjoyment of oneself and others.

Each of us carries within us a worldview, a set of assumptions about how the world works - what some call a paradigm - that forms the very questions we allow ourselves to ask, and determines our view of future possibilities.

much agricultural land which might be growing food is being used instead to 'grow' money (in the form of coffee, tea, etc.).

No society has fulfilled its democratic promise if people go hungry... If some go without food they have surely been deprived of all power. The existence of hunger belies the existence of democracy.

Freedom is not the capacity to do whatever we please; freedom is the capacity to make intelligent choices.

in a world where only a minor portion of the land is really well suited to agriculture, man is using much of the best land with dubious efficiency.

Nature has an incredible capacity for regeneration and growth, but we can't experience it if we stay fearful and focused on lack.
