We All Wish To Live

I Believe That The Basic Nature Of Human Beings Is Gentle And Compassionate. It Is Therefore In Our Own Interest To Encourage That Nature, To Make It Live Within Us, To Leave Room For It To Develop. If On The Contrary We Use Violence, It Is As If We Voluntarily Obstruct The Positive Side Of Human Nature And Prevent Its Evolution.

True Friends Share Genuine Closeness And Remain Friends Irrespective Of Fluctuating Fortunes.

Anger Is The Ultimate Troublemaker. I Feel You Can Express A Strong Disapproval Or Dislike Of An Object Without Losing Your Temper.

All Good Qualities Must Be Sown And Cultivated. We Can’t Expect To Change Overnight From An Ordinary Person Into One With High Realizations.

Self-discipline, Although Difficult, And Not Always Easy While Combating Negative Emotions, Should Be A Defensive Measure. At Least We Will Be Able To Prevent The Advent Of Negative Conduct Dominated By Negative Emotion. That Is 'shila', Or Moral Ethics. Once We Develop This By Familiarizing Ourselves With It, Along With Mindfulness And Conscientiousness, Eventually That Pattern And Way Of Life Will Become A Part Of Our Own Life.
