At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity; idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols.You will find that I am strong but also very compassionate and when I speak honestly with you, I speak from this place of compassion. We are all on a journey and it is important that we are aware of what is really going on along the way. The journey is much more enjoyable if we open our eyes to the little miracles that are always happening along the way.Peace rests on a foundation of understanding, and happiness is sheltered by a roof of tolerance.Without the experience of connection with the people, the creatures, and other living things around us, we are left with the resources of a fragile body and a brain-dependent mind. As this separated self suffers the loss that time brings to all things, the tragedy of living without love should become increasingly apparent; yet our fear of equality blinds us to the obvious. The way back to sanity is usually traveled in baby steps, the first of which is our decision to be tolerant and understanding of at least one other living thing. From that commitment, the stirrings of an ancient peace are felt rising in the soul.And so, my mantra that I willingly share with you. It has helped to keep me grounded and self-aware along my journey.If I don't go within, I go without.and remember, when you feel the need to judge someone else or are annoyed by them, tell yourself, "and I am that too". See what happens...
