We All Have To Live Together, So

I Am Increasingly Convinced That The Time Has Come To Find A Way Of Thinking About Spirituality And Ethics Beyond Religion Altogether.

One Must Be Compassionate To One's Self Before External Compassion.

The First Beneficiary Of Compassion Is Always Oneself. When Compassion, Or Warmheartedness, Arises In Us And Our Focus Shifts Away From Our Own Narrow Self-interest, It Is As If We Open An Inner Door. It Reduces Fear, Boosts Confidence And Brings Us Inner Strength. By Reducing Distrust, It Opens Us To Others And Brings Us A Sense Of Connection To Others, And Sense Of Purpose And Meaning In Life.

A Mind Wishing To Benefit Other People And Other Sentient Beings Is The Very Basis Of Peace And Happiness.

We Have A Largely Materialistic Lifestyle Characterized By A Materialistic Culture. However, This Only Provides Us With Temporary, Sensory Satisfaction, Whereas Long-term Satisfaction Is Based Not On The Senses But On The Mind. That’s Where Real Tranquility Is To Be Found. And Peace Of Mind Turns Out To Be A Significant Factor In Our Physical Health Too.
