It is dangerous and harmful to be guided in our life’s course by hatreds
and aversions, for they are wasteful of energy and limit
and twist the mind and prevent it from perceiving the truth. ~Jawaharlal Nehru
Life is full of painful events, and people who have lost their way and hurt others.
Our pain is not lessened when we respond with hatred. In fact, the opposite
occurs: When we hate people who hurt us, we come to resemble what we hate,
or worse, and then we suffer all the more. What is evil is our response.
We have choices, and love is the most powerful eliminator of all.
~Bernie Siegel

Welcome a new day with a smile on your lips, love in your heart and gratitude in your spirit.
When you do something bad, there is nowhere you can go to hide. Even if others don’t see you, you must see yourself. Even if you go into a deep hole, you’ll still find yourself there. There’s no way you can commit bad actions and get away with it. In the same way, why shouldn’t you see your own purity? You see it all–the peace, the agitation, the liberation, the bondage. You see all these for yourself. ~Ajahn Chah
The mind is intrinsically tranquil. Out of this tranquility, anxiety and confusion are born. If one sees and knows this confusion, then the mind is tranquil once more. ~Ajahn Chah
