 A view of Kew Street on Slave Island, Colombo, Sri Lanka, where the intricately carved Arullmigu Sivasubramania Swami Kovil, a Hindu temple, was built more than 125 years ago to honor Lord Muguran, god of religion and yoga. The distinctively decorated 80-foot tower is flanked by smaller clock towers. The temple remains an active place of worship.

I am not really interested in the story of slavery, in fact, I despise the entire concept of it. In my opinion, if we keep on telling the next generations, stories about them, then they might emulate it. I really hope that the concept of slavery ends with our generation. While I do realize that we are still slaving away up to this day, that is above the issue. Slavery is not something that I would wish on any person. Leave a Reply. |
Quotes For A Good Life On The Road
“If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.”
