John Coffey... (The Green Mile)

"Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head, all the time..."

Violence and bullying... it has to end. That is my wish for 2020.
