“…There is a place in your heart and I know it is love
This place can be much more beautiful than tomorrow
And if you really try, you’ll realize there’s no need to cry
Here, you will find there is no more sadness or sadness
There are many ways to get there, you just need to pay more attention to life
Please spend a small part of your heart to create a better world…”
Michael Jackson looked deep into every human heart and realized that there is always love there. The worries and sorrows of daily life; Anger, suffering, injustice… make people discouraged and lose faith in life.

“…If you want to know why there is a love that cannot lie
Love is strong, only concerned with giving happily
And if we try, we will find that in this joy, we do not feel fear or anxiety.
We will stop existing and start truly living…”
Michael Jackson praised the miracle of love. Love has the power to help people overcome all difficulties and obstacles. If we only care about our own problems and dwell on our own ego, humanity will be separated and become discrete, weak and vulnerable individuals. Only when united and loving each other can people create a strong collective strength to coexist and move forward to a bright future.
“…And the dream we cherish will reveal its radiant face
And the world we once believed in will shine once again
So why do we have to stifle life, hurt the earth, damn its soul?
When it’s easy to realize that this world is beautiful, be God’s halo…
