We Need To Create A World

by: Unknown

We need to feel more
to understand others.
We need to love more
to be loved back.

We need to cry more
to cleanse ourselves.
We need to laugh more
to enjoy ourselves.

We need to see more
other than our own little fantasies.
We need to hear more
and listen to the needs of others.

We need to give more
and take less.
We need to share more
and own less.

We need to look more
and realize that we are not so different
from one another.
We need to create a world where
all can peacefully live the life they choose

A Complete English Text

Quick Biography for Therese Malten:

Therese Malten was the stage name of Therese Müller (June 21, 1855 – January 2, 1930), a noted German dramatic soprano.

She was born at Insterburg, studied with Gustav Engel in Berlin, and made her début in 1873 in Dresden as Pamina in The Magic Flute. In 1882 Richard Wagner selected her as the original Kundry in Parsifal. From that time on till her retirement in 1903 she remained a member of the Dresden Opera, with frequent leaves of absence for appearances in the principal European opera houses such as the Semperoper.

Her repertory included all the great operas, but she was pre-eminent as an interpreter of Wagner’s heroines.
