Every day, each and every one of us has an opportunity to make a step towards a fellow human being. Towards those whose lives are plagued by hardship and who might be unable to help themselves. Towards all who are suffering injustices, whose rights are being violated, who are deprived, trampled on, forgotten, or those who only need our attention, a kind word. When we succeed in stepping closer to our fellow human beings and remaining there with sincere purpose despite the burdens of our own daily lives, we will facilitate positive changes. Only through our example, we can bring about the revolution we wish and expect from others.

The opportunity to make a change for the better is here and now. However, in doing this, we must make sure that no one is left behind.

May the coming year be filled with humanity, nobility, compassion, boldness, and selflessness.
