The range of weapons at the disposal of military powers is terrifying in its capacity to damage the world and its inhabitants, perhaps even to bring humanity's long story to its end.
When I meet a new person, I am on the lookout for signs of what he or she is loyal to. It is a preliminary clue to the sense of belonging, and hence of his or her humanity.
Looting has an immense impact on our ability to understand our global cultural heritage; once these objects are gone, so too is our chance of piecing together humanity's shared story.
To strip a man of all loyalties but those to the state, makes him not only a worm but a monster, without a shred of humanity.
I'm hoping that the legacy of 'Girlfriends' is just that you can enjoy and connect to Joan, Maya, Toni, Lynn, and William and see your humanity reflected in theirs. That's what I'm hoping that it did.
We must not allow the horrific actions of madmen to cut us off from our humanity.
There's a call to adventure. It's something in the inner psyche of humanity, particularly males.
If there were an exact and universal scale of punishments and crimes, we would have a fairly reliable and shared instrument to measure the degree of tyranny and liberty, of the basic humanity or malice of the different nations.
The rise of ISIS has exposed the darkest side of humanity - at times manifesting their violent ideology at our very doorsteps.
Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.
Yes, ISIS is a threat. It's more than a nuisance. It's also in many respects criminal violence. But it isn't, in my view, a central strategic issue facing humanity.
While I do not suggest that humanity will ever be able to dispense with its martyrs, I cannot avoid the suspicion that with a little more thought and a little less belief their number may be substantially reduced.
But I deal with this meditating and by understanding I've been put on the planet to serve humanity. I have to remind myself to live simply and not to overindulge, which is a constant battle in a material world.
We live in a materialist world, and materialism appeals so strongly to humanity, no matter where.
The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.
Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity.
The Internet is especially adept at compressing humanity and making it easy to forget there are people behind tweets, posts, and memes.
If we each take responsibility in shifting our own behavior, we can trigger the type of change that is necessary to achieve sustainability for our race or this planet. We change our planet, our environment, our humanity every day, every year, every decade, and every millennia.
We're addicted to this concept of civilization - we can't imagine living outside of it because we've had it for 10,000 years, all of what we call history. But according to archaeologists, humanity has been on this planet for millions of years in indigenous form.
Mining asteroids will ultimately benefit humanity on and off the Earth in a multitude of ways.
