"..Hope is not about peace of mind. Hope is an action. Hope is doing
something. The more futile, the more useless, the more irrelevant and
incomprehensible an act of rebellion is, the vaster and the more potent hope
becomes. Hope never makes sense. Hope is weak, unorganized and absurd. Hope,
which is always nonviolent, exposes in its powerlessness the lies, fraud and
coercion employed by the state. Hope does not believe in force. Hope knows
that an injustice visited on our neighbor is an injustice visited on us all.
Hope posits that people are drawn to the good by the good. This is the
secret of hope's power and it is why it can never finally be defeated. Hope
demands for others what we demand for ourselves. Hope does not separate us
from them. Hope sees in our enemy our own face...
"..Any act of rebellion, any physical defiance of those who make war, of
those who perpetuate corporate greed and are responsible for state crimes,
anything that seeks to draw the good to the good, nourishes our souls and
holds out the possibility that we can touch and transform the souls of
others. Hope affirms that which we must affirm. And every act that imparts
hope is a victory in itself.."

You cannot build anything on the foundations of caste. You cannot build up a
nation, you cannot build up a morality. Anything that you will build on the
foundations of caste will crack and will never be a whole.
