"But there is no reason to live and no limit to our miseries if we let our fears predominate."

     SENECA, Moral Letters, 13.12b

"Traditional cultural beliefs and values, no matter how rich and meaningful, do not compete with the laws of human sustainability and public health. The dynamics of what comprises a healthy society transcend our customary loyalties."

     Peter Joseph

My Father

"... work, in its truest state, is the creative act of inquiry, invention, and development... Unfortunately, the exploitative drudgery of our historical existence, coupled with an economic system that requires work for income, had distorted this inherent drive through arduous and monotonous labor.

     Peter Joseph

"... it is about design... Wishful thinking has proven to be of little help without a structural foundation to support goals, which is why all the poems, stories, and songs about peace, love and human solidarity have remained an idealistic backdrop in the midst of constant human conflict, deprivation and abuse."

     Peter Joseph
