It’s better to have three broken engagements than three divorces.
I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies.
Music, art, writing – it gives us a sense of who we are, a sense of our history, a sense of our future and it should provide some kind of comfort. It’s not just entertainment for entertainment’s sake, it’s an investment.
