the world has changed, and conflicts have evolved
even as they continue. But humanity everywhere
in the world rejects these foolish decisions,
especially artists. They stand united towards
spreading peace, goodness and humanity, and I
am one of them. I am planning a new project,

inclusive, and hopeful future for generations
to come.
