When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
As you come to know the seriousness of our situation—the war, the racism, the poverty in the world—you come to realize that it is not going to be changed just by words or demonstrations. It’s a question of risking your life. It’s a question of living your life in drastically different ways.
