ferine"Truth 2 : Samudaya: Dukkha comes from desire to meet our expectations. Choosing for the ego rather than for the whole leads to suffering. In the language of many egoistic teenagers: "Life Sucks".
(Henk Tuten: Common Sense = Egoism does not pay)
" Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.
Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace."
from the Buddha's 4 Noble Truths and typical quotes from a Buddha from Beyond Dogma and Discourses (North Atlantic 1996).
I quote the Buddha(s) because the lessons are relevant, and help me. I think everyone can learn from the lessons.
