"We have to be sensitive to people's suffering, act justly, and treat all people with dignity.... There is goodness in every person; all we have to do is seek it out. Let us listen to our hearts, fight injustice and discrimination, and remember that hatred is a disease that destroys people. These values we have to live by and teach to the next generation.

We may not always agree, but by understanding the basis for differing ideas about various parts of our lives, we can find the common ground that enables us to work together for the good of all."
