By Changing Our Inner State Of Mind,

If We Are To Put The Era Of Nuclear Terror Behind Us, We Must Struggle Against The Real 'enemy.' That Enemy Is Not Nuclear Weapons Per Se, Nor Is It The States That Possess Or Develop Them. The Real Enemy That We Must Confront Is The Ways Of Thinking That Justify Nuclear Weapons; The Readiness To Annihilate Others When They Are Seen As A Threat Or As A Hindrance To The Realization Of Our Objectives.

Ideal Love Is Fostered Only Between Two Sincere, Mature And Independent People. Real Love Is Not Two People Clinging To Each Other; It Can Only Be Fostered Between Two Strong People Secure In Their Individuality.

Those Who Always Have A Sense Of Appreciation And Gratitude Never Reach An Impasse In Life.

It Is Only Through Such Real-life Daily Struggles And Challenges That A Genuine Sensitivity To Human Rights Can Be Inculcated. This Is A Truth That Is Not Limited To School Education: It Applies To All Of Us.

I Have For Some Time Urged That A Nuclear Abolition Summit To Mark The Effective End Of The Nuclear Era Be Convened In Hiroshima And Nagasaki On The 70th Anniversary Of The Bombings Of Those Cities, With The Participation Of National Leaders And Representatives Of Global Civil Society.
