Tikufuna gulu la anthu kuti litsimikizire omwe ali ndi mphamvu kuti asinthe. Mitengo ndiyokwera kwambiri ndipo zotsatira zake zidzatsalira ngati tili ndi kutha kusintha. Chifukwa chake, upangiri wanga ndikuti ingodumphirani ndikuthandizira komwe mungakwanitse. Musachite mantha. Pali njira zambiri zothandizira. Simuyenera kukhala akatswiri.

Gawo lina la ine limamva kuti palibe chomwe chidzakonzeke mpaka tithetse vutoli. Olemera ndi amphamvu apitilizabe kutsogoza mfundo (kuphatikizapo nkhondo ndi zankhondo) zomwe zimadzithandiza zokha osati anthu ndi dziko lapansi mpaka titabwezeretsa demokalase.

Ndikudziwa kuti anthu ambiri akuvutika kuti apeze zofunika pamoyo, kukhala ndi mitu, kulera mabanja awo, ndikuthana ndi zoponya ndi mivi zonse zomwe moyo umatiponyera. Mwanjira ina, pena pake, tiyenera kudzichotsera pazinthu za tsiku ndi tsiku ndikuwunika zina mwa mphamvu zathu paziwopsezo zazikuluzikuluzi ndikukankhira osankhidwa athu (mofunitsitsa kapena monyinyirika) kuti athane nawo. Izi ndi mavuto omwe tikukumana nawo ngati fuko. M'malo mwake, nkhanizi zikuwopseza anthu amitundu yonse. Chifukwa cha izi, zikuwonekeratu kwa ine kuti malingaliro akale ampikisano, mikangano, ndi nkhondo pakati pa mayiko satithandizanso (ngati zidachitikapo). Palibe dziko lomwe lingathe kuthana ndi ziwopsezo zapadziko lonse lapansi zokha. Zowopseza izi zitha kuthetsedwa pokhapokha kuyesetsa kwa mgwirizano wapadziko lonse lapansi. Timafunikira kulumikizana, zokambirana, mapangano ndi kudalirana. Monga adanenera Dr. King, tiyenera kuphunzira kukhala limodzi ngati abale ndi alongo apo ayi titha kuwonongeka limodzi ngati opusa.
