Making
Friends
The
most noble,
the most essential
purpose for a human being,
now more than ever,
is to make friends.
The
new world -
the one of peace
and happiness,
of security,
for which all people
have awaited
since the beginning of time,
must not be delayed.
Making
friends
is expressing our love
without selfish interests --
to encourage
to build
to nurture
to protect
the living spark
in everyone.
Making
friends
is more heroic
than defeating enemies.
There is no successful war,
because the state of war
is a sign of failure,
the failure to create friends.
In
the future
success will be the joy
of living in a world
where everyone
is a friend,
where everyone
is happy
for the success
of another,
where the human family
unites
to build people and nations
through celebrations
of friendship.
