“A dimension is a measure of something wrongly used as the property or feature of something, but space itself is not, in its essence, what we think it is. We imagine space, conceptually and linguistically, as something solid and conditionally emptiness if this emptiness is within something tangible as matter. In this way, all we measure is the measure of a shape that we see in the way we see it, not how it is. We can also measure distances between the shapes. This is how we form our idea of space. Even if there was no absolute vacuum, what gives space or dimensions to anything we measure or see as space in the “material universe” is this void or nothingness. We experience and measure all the physical qualities of reality, but they are only “coordinates” or informational, immaterial skeletons of Reality appearing in the forms we experience as “physical.” We measure this very void for, without it, space or our idea of space is impossible.”

We can pave new roads towards peace simply by understanding other cultures. This can be achieved through traveling, learning other languages, and interacting with others from outside our borders. Only then will one truly discover how we are more alike than different. Never allow language or cultural traditions to come between brothers and sisters. The same way one brother may not like his sister's choice of fashion or hairstyle, he will never hate her for her personal style or music preference. If you judge a man, judge only his heart. And if you should do so, make sure you use the truth in your conscience when weighing one's character. Do not measure anybody strictly based on the bad you see in them and ignore all the good.”
