Our ultimate objective in learning about anything is to try to create and develop a more just society.
Yuri KochiyamaI don't think there will ever be a time when people will stop wanting to bring about change.
Yuri KochiyamaFirst and foremost, you do not have to live up to or emulate the lives of any of your predecessors. But at the very least, you should know about them. You will have your own life, interests, and ideas of what you want or do not want in life. Do what you enjoy doing. Be honest with yourself and others. Don't think of satisfying anyone: your elders, peers, government, religion, or children who will come after you. Develop meaningful ideals, and become conscious of others, their existence, and their lives.
