Truth is not a matter of personal viewpoint.
You know we're each the hero of our own story and we perceive what's going on around us and especially in a relationship from the kind of viewpoint of 'Well this is my story and I'm the hero of that and I justify what I do around it.'
I think that if your approach is one where you don't want to alienate anybody you're going to have to soften the viewpoint or the information that you're offering to such an extent that it doesn't have the power to make any difference. You have to take that risk.
The value systems of those with access to power and of those far removed from such access cannot be the same. The viewpoint of the privileged is unlike that of the underprivileged.
A purely objective viewpoint does not exist in the cosmos or in politics.
War is to man what maternity is to a woman. From a philosophical and doctrinal viewpoint I do not believe in perpetual peace.
It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace. When we understand the other fellow's viewpoint and he understands ours then we can sit down and work out our differences.
Just learning to think in another language allows you to see your own culture in a better viewpoint.
The world is bad but not without hope. It is only hopeless when you look at it from an ideal viewpoint.
There are no guarantees. From the viewpoint of fear none are strong enough. From the viewpoint of love none are necessary.
