Have compassion for all of humanity
I think what we talked about a little earlier about having compassion. Being aware that injustice doesn't only happen to us, it happens to others. Being more conscious worldwide. If there is such a thing as being a citizen of the world, that's what I would like to be. I don't like to choose sides, and say, Our team is the best. No, it shouldn't be, My team is the best, but it should be Our team. It should be all of us; we all should be concerned with humanity.
