Our world is far more dangerous now than it was when President Obama took office. His Nobel Peace Prize notwithstanding, peace is receding today faster than it has in a generation. President Obama and Secretary Clinton projected weakness, and weakness has proven provocative. Today, Russian president Vladimir Putin is on the march in Ukraine and eyeing the Baltic states. China is making an aggressive effort to exert global power by intimidating U.S. allies and demanding new territorial concessions, from South Korea to Japan to the Philippines to Taiwan and Singapore. Cuba is exporting arms to North Korea.

The world is facing greater dangers now compared to when President Obama began his presidency, despite his receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize. The current international environment reflects a notable decline in peace, the likes of which hasn't been seen for a generation. Critics argue that the approach taken by Obama and Secretary Clinton, perceived as weak, has only exacerbated global tensions.

As a result, aggressive actions are being observed, particularly from Russia and China. Russian President Putin is advancing in Ukraine and eyeing nearby Baltic nations, while China is increasingly pressuring U.S. allies to make territorial concessions. This trend also includes Cuba's involvement in arming North Korea, indicating a broader pattern of international threats that are destabilizing and challenging U.S. influence across multiple regions.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
by Mitch Albom
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.

Ain't you supposed to have peace when you die?'You have peace,' the old woman said, 'when you make it with yourself.

My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?

But love takes many forms, and it is not the same for any man and woman. What people find then is a certain love.
