Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.
I'm just a human being trying to make it in a world that is very rapidly losing it's understanding of being human.
Those who have ever valued liberty for its own sake believed that to be free to choose, and not to be chosen for, is an inalienable ingredient in what makes human beings human.
