If You Want Change, Create The Causes.

I Believe Compassion To Be One Of The Few Things We Can Practice That Will Bring Immediate And Long-term Happiness To Our Lives. I'm Not Talking About The Short-term Gratification Of Pleasures Like Sex, Drugs Or Gambling (though I'm Not Knocking Them), But Something That Will Bring True And Lasting Happiness. The Kind That Sticks.

I Have Found That The Greatest Degree Of Inner Peace Comes From Cultivating Love And Compassion.

Those Who Suffer From An Exaggerated Sense Of Their Own Ability And Accomplishment Are Continually Subject To Frustration, Disappointment, And Rage When Reality Intrudes And The World Doesn't Validate Their Idealized View Of Themselves.

I Feel They Should Be Discussed Informally, Truthfully, Honestly, And In Some Cases, I Think, Without Forgetting ... Long-term Vision. They Should Be Practical.

I Am Like A Wounded Animal In A Remote Isolated Place - How Wonderful! - How Happy!
