إن الكون كائن واحد. ويرتبط كل شيء وكل شخص بشبكة خفية من القصص. وسواء أدركنا ذلك أم لم ندرك، فإننا نشارك جميعًا في حديث صامت. لا ضرر ولا ضرار. كن رحيمًا. ولا تكن نمّامًا، حتى لو كانت كلماتك بريئة، لأن الكلمات التي تنبعث من أفواهنا، لا تتلاشى بل تظل في الفضاء اللانهائي إلى ما لا نهاية، وستعود إلينا في الوقت المناسب. إن معاناة إنسان واحد تؤذينا جميعًا. وبهجة إنسان واحد تجعلنا جميعًا نبتسم.
