About Me

Full of love for all things, practicing virtue in order to benefit others. Never is hate diminished by hatred; It is only diminished by love- That is an eternal law. The real treasure is laid up by a man or woman through charity and piety, temperance and self-control...The treasure thus hid is secure, and does not pass away. The faults of others we see easily; our own are very difficult to see. Our neighbor's faults we winnow eagerly, as chaff from grain; our own we hide away as a cheat hides a losing roll of the dice.

My Interests

Knowledge crowns endeavor with success. Blessed is the teaching of truth, Blessed the harmony of the community, Blessed the union of those who live in peace. Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. (Buddha..thank you hands)
