"When Man looks around, he sees not people but humanity as a whole. He sees history as a succession of moments to the point of his conception. And at that point, he begins to shape history, he begins to understand that he can effect change, he is a part of a harbinger of hope.
This happens only when he has understood his individuality is not by sheer coincidence but a pre meditation, an emblem of perfection. Humanity as a whole slants towards an eternal solidarity; a cry for perfection; a call for justice. If man can see himself as part of an eternity, he can understand the gravity of his existence as a means for such ideals to prevail.
Yet, Man must confront his potential, to expand his horizons and unleash his creativity. Only then is he fully alive. He understands that for another to be a brother, he must know when unique ends and comparison begins. And that whilst all are different, all are similar- we're under the same sky, having the same hope of a brighter tomorrow, and wondering at the same chaos that mystifies.
Its on this line of thought, that respect, compassion, sincerity and forgiveness is built. That through a common humanity, through the thread of a similar hope, and through the same river of tears, will we come to see our neighbour, where boundaries of regions and race, of religions and language, are eventually erased.
The profundity of this message is not easily articulated. But its imperative to bear witness to Him who died for this message, its essential to proclaim to a world that is drowning in the irony of greater estrangement in an age of better communicative technology, immense poverty in a rising affluence and a proliferating loss of individuality in a milieux of growing freedom of thought and speech.
To the world... this is hope. Enunciated."
