My dedication to global peace is fueled by my passion for the pursuit of knowledge. I believe that from the building blocks of collective intelligence that have evolved our planet to bring us to this moment in time, we are here today to continue to build the future to the best potential it can be. Regardless of religion, race, culture, intellect, language, geographic location or even wealth – every single one of us inevitably serves as a unique, valuable piece to this infinitely evolving master piece that I hope to someday understand. I believe that the illusionary, pretentious divides that have separated mankind from one another is one of the biggest problems that mankind has created. Oppression is an ancient problem that is very much alive in both the past and the present. I live in a country blessed with excess. It is very disappointing when I hear the decisions that my leaders make in terms of “destabilizing” countries and creating wars that lead to unnecessary mass casualties of innocent men, women and children. The power of words, light and the potential of a seed are just examples of how just about everyone can fight the bad and evil to make room for a brighter future.
