-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we talk with others,
it's that confidence in our voices
and those earnest words
that moves people's hearts
and often than not helps them
to changes their minds and opinions.
Let's treasure each encounter,
even if that is the first and last opportunity,
and try to form a bond of friendship with them,
as we brim with abundant life force!

"Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948), a great champion of nonviolence, observed that every good movement passes through five stages—namely, 'indifference, ridicule, abuse, repression, and respect.'[1] Let us be proud of the fact that our Soka movement has passed through the first four stages and now reached the highest stage of respect."
