The ones that you love the most
are usually the ones that hurt you the most.

Apologizing does not always mean that you’re
wrong and the other person is right. It just means
that you value your relationship more than your ego.

Live without pretending,
Love without depending,
Listen without defending,
Speak without offending.

Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger. Instead of getting angry, nurture a deep caring and respect for troublemakers because by creating such trying circumstances they provide us with invaluable opportunities to practice tolerance and patience. ~Dalai Lama

While we waited for freedom
To take us away from our fear
We searched the earth for love
As we knew the key to be is
The silence which led us here.

Goodness is the only investment that never fails. ~Henry David Thoreau
Caring and kindness…two very simple words, but two actions that can change your world and the world around you. They are qualities that, when you practice them, bring happiness not only to others but back to you as well. Everyday we have many choices to make in the way we treat other people and things. These little choices add up to big things: they define who we are as a person. To inspire you in your own efforts to be more caring and kind.

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

Peace is an easy path to tread
Peace is where our fears are mislaid
Peace is beginning to restore
Peace for each man, woman and child
Peace for the troubled streets gone wild
Peace is for the old and the young
Peace in the end will overcome
Peace builds trust into a lifestyle
Peace is a friendly open hand
Peace is a place to understand
Peace in the end will overcome
Peace is for the old and the young
Peace is a legacy to leave
Peace is when we don't have to grieve
Peace is and end to all the hate
Peace is why we negotiate
Peace for all the victims of war

The Reality of War
Of course, war and the large military establishments are the greatest sources of violence in the world. Whether their purpose is defensive or offensive, these vast powerful organizations exist solely to kill human beings. We should think carefully about the reality of war. Most of us have been conditioned to regard military combat as exciting and glamorous – an opportunity for men to prove their competence and courage. Since armies are legal, we feel that war is acceptable; in general, nobody feels that war is criminal or that accepting it is criminal attitude. In fact, we have been brainwashed. War is neither glamorous nor attractive. It is monstrous. Its very nature is one of tragedy and suffering.
War is like a fire in the human community, one whose fuel is living beings. I find this analogy especially appropriate and useful. Modern warfare waged primarily with different forms of fire, but we are so conditioned to see it as thrilling that we talk about this or that marvelous weapon as a remarkable piece of technology without remembering that, if it is actually used, it will burn living people. War also strongly resembles a fire in the way it spreads. If one area gets weak, the commanding officer sends in reinforcements. This is throwing live people onto a fire. But because we have been brainwashed to think this way, we do not consider the suffering of individual soldiers. No soldiers want to be wounded or die. None of his loved ones wants any harm to come to him. If one soldier is killed, or maimed for life, at least another five or ten people – his relatives and friends – suffer as well. We should all be horrified by the extent of this tragedy, but we are too confused.

There are women’s fashion magazines that tell us that in
order to succeed, you have to look a certain way, and use a certain
product. Many young people in our society want to have cosmetic
surgery in order to meet that standard of beauty. They suffer very
much, because they cannot accept their bodies. When you do not
accept your body as it is, you are not your true home. Every child
is born in the garden of humanity as a flower. Your body is a kind
of flower, and flowers differ from one another. Breathing in, I see
myself as a flower. Breathing out, I feel fresh. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
