It Is Our Basic Right To Be

Do Something That Scares You Every Day. You Have Nothing To Lose But Fear Itself.

We Are Driven By Self-interest, It’s Necessary To Survive. But We Need Wise Self-interest That Is Generous And Co-operative, Taking Others’ Interests Into Account. Co-operation Comes From Friendship, Friendship Comes From Trust, And Trust Comes From Kind-heartedness. Once You Have A Genuine Sense Of Concern For Others, There’s No Room For Cheating, Bullying Or Exploitation.

Life Is As Dear To A Mute Creature As It Is To Man. Just As One Wants Happiness And Fears Pain, Just As One Wants To Live And Not Die, So Do Other Creatures.

To My Mind, There Are Two Things That, In Life, You Can Do About Death. Either You Can Choose To Ignore It, In Which Case You May Have Some Success In Making The Idea Of It Go Away For A Limited Period Of Time, Or You Can Confront The Prospect Of Your Own Death And Try To Analyze It And, In So Doing, Try To Minimize Some Of The Inevitable Suffering That It Causes. Neither Way Can You Actually Overcome It.

By Developing A Sense Of Respect For Others And A Concern For Their Welfare, We Reduce Our Own Selfishness, Which Is The Source Of All Problems, And Enhance Our Sense Of Kindness, Which Is A Natural Source Of Goodness.
