Drugs are a health issue not a criminal issue. Call someone a criminal and they will feel threatened and wouldn’t listen. Treat it as a health issue and they will be more likely to see that we care. Even just one small change in our words can make a huge difference.

Sometimes it’s hard for us to chase our dreams when we have little stability.

Jail a person for killing someone and you’ve taught them there’s no reason to kill. Kill someone for trying to kill some else and you’ve taught them it’s acceptable.

Religion destroys curiosity.

Value human lives more than money.

Many work hard for less.

Find highs in reality.
