Nature of man Quote by Vicente Hao Chin
““The solution to global conflicts cannot be found in arms buildups that are meant to serve as deterrents. Neither can it be found in treaties and agreements, though they are very helpful in creating interim peace. The solution can only be found in our collective maturity, when a significant percentage of the world’s population have transcended the personal and social conditionings at the root of international insecurity, fear, and distrust, and when they have awakened a higher level of consciousness that sees humanity as an indivisible family, regardless of color, religion, nationality, or race.””
