This was one of the first songs I heard from him. My brother, Utz, had spent the summer of 1977 in Sweden and he came back with fantastic stories of seeing a concert in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gr\u00f6na_Lund\" target=\"_blank\">Gr\u00f6na Lund<\/a> where &#8220;this Black guy with crazy hair sang amazing songs of black liberation.&#8221; We rushed up to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Community_Memory\"t arget=\"_blank\">Leopold Records<\/a> on telegraph to see if we could figure out who it was. Right there in the front window we saw the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.backtoblackvinyl.com\/vinyl\/Bob_Marley_And_The_Wailers-Live.php\" target=\"_blank\">Bob Marley Live<\/a> cover.<\/p>\n<p>We quickly bought it and rushed home. I remember listening to No Woman No Cry for the very first time. It was electric. Life changing.<\/p>\n<p>I want to do something similar. I was to write down my thoughts and have that effect on a few people. I want my ideas to change the way someone thinks.<\/p>\n<p>And so&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>I begin my philosophy section with these words.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Love is the answer.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe most important thing is the love we show to others.<br \/>\nWe are all one. All of us.<\/p>\n<p>Jimi Hendirix is said; &#8220;When the Power of Love Overcomes the Love of Power the World Will Know Peace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While I agree, I think of it a little differently.<\/p>\n<p>No Borders<br \/>\nNo Military<br \/>\nNo Money<\/p>\n<p>Once we take down and get rid of what divides us, we will come together. We only stay apart because we do not yet see that we are all one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bob Marley is one of my heros.
