“Spiritually, life is a festival, a celebration. Joy is of the essence of life.”

The essence of spirituality is the duty to live to its full the glorious destiny of being human.

All human beings have a right, and duty, to be joyful. Anything that thwarts this spiritual human right goes against the very purpose of human being.

We must not rest until right livelihood is within reach of every human being upon this earth we love and cherish.

They tend to make us meaner rather than better human beings, less sensitive to the demands of justice, compassion and fellow humanity in our times.

It is imperative that a new and proactive spiritual vision commensurate to the challenges of the emerging world order be enunciated without delay.

Spirituality mandates us to wage a relentless war to eradicate these forces of oppression and disempowerment.

We all have a role to play in achieving this goal.

Religions have become a hindrance, rather than a help, to our shared pursuit of peace and progress.

First, we must liberate people from religion, as religion is understood and practiced today. Second, we must effect a paradigm shift from religiosity to shared spirituality.

For the world order to be one of peace and justice, for the global village to be a theater of right livelihood.

Peace among religions is a precondition for world peace.

The religions of the world must be assessed, not on the basis of their convoluted theologies, but in terms of the extent to which they serve as forces of liberation and empowerment.

The purpose of religion should be to empower all people in this adventure of living with dignity and fulfilment.

Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it.

We are the witnesses to the miracle. We are put here by creation, by God….We’re here to be the audience to the magnificent. It is our job to celebrate.

Everybody knows how much I love Arsenal – I became a fan. And to be out here celebrating a goal against Tottenham, there’s not much else to say after thatLike I’ve said before, Once a Gooner, always a Gooner.

Messi scores a goal and celebrates. Cristiano scores a goal and poses like he’s in a shampoo commercial.

While the coach is entitled to celebrate the team’s victories, there is a manner and a way of doing so without aggravating the opponent.

Life gave me lemons, tequila, salt, and a knife. Death, you call the shots.

what we women want today – and every day- is fundamental equal rights, not congratulations or celebrations.

This fight hasn’t yet been won. So save your celebrations and congratulations and support women on the frontlines of society worldwide.
