I
come from the East, most of you [here] are Westerners. If I look at you
superficially, we are different, and if I put my emphasis on that level, we grow
more distant. If I look on you as my own kind, as human beings like myself, with
one nose, two eyes, and so forth, then automatically that distance is gone. We
are the same human flesh. I want happiness; you also want happiness. From that
mutual recognition, we can build respect and real trust of each other. From that
can come cooperation and harmony.
