Vision
  
 

A world, where everyone lives in peace and harmony, where people respect and love each other, where people are merciful, helpful, compassionate and gentle, where differences do not lead to misunderstandings and arguments.

Come, Come, whoever you are
Come, and come yet again
Come even if you have broken
Your vows a thousand time
Wanderer, idolater, worshiper of fire
Ours is not a caravan of despair
(RUMI)
