"The key is to remember that people hurt others because they are unconscious or unaware. If only we could, even for just a fleeting moment, grasp that we would all love each other if we could, if we were free from the armor we have used to shield our hearts. When we realize that the enemy is unconsciousness, not another person, we will bring fresh air to our bitterness, and create more spaciousness in our minds and hearts."

"We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us."
--Kahlil Gibran,
The Prophet"Expect everything to continue just as it is. Will that be okay with you in six months? A year? Five years? It might seem like a contradiction to base a current decision only on the present moment, when impermanence is one of the basics of Buddhism. The point is this: To make a decision based on reality, we have to accept that it will be this way forever because the prsent time is the only truth we have. Otherwise, our decision is based on projections and wishful thinking."
