-- TO MY FRIENDS --
People's minds constantly keep changing.
Instead of getting stuck
with some preconceived idea about someone,
let's continue to courageously and sincerely
engage in dialogue with them
sharing our honest thoughts and beliefs.
Let's work together to build the type of society
that shines with hope and smiling faces
through our own personal efforts!
