When You Think Everything Is Someone Else's

We Cannot Hope To Die Peacefully If Our Lives Have Been Full Of Violence, Or If Our Minds Have Mostly Been Agitated By Emotions Like Anger, Attachment, Or Fear. So If We Wish To Die Well, We Must Learn How To Live Well: Hoping For A Peaceful Death, We Must Cultivate Peace In Our Mind, And In Our Way Of Life.

We Must Cultivate A Universal Responsibility Toward Each Other And Extend It To The Planet That We Have To Share

Anger And Hatred Cannot Bring Harmony. The Noble Task Of Arms Control And Disarmament Cannot Be Accomplished By Confrontation And Condemnation. Hostile Attitudes Only Serve To Heat Up The Situation, Whereas A True Sense Of Respect Gradually Cools Down What Otherwise Could Become Explosive. We Must Recognize The Frequent Contradictions Between Short-term Benefit And Long-term Harm.

There Needs To Be Understanding That Anger Never Helps To Solve A Problem. It Destroys Our Peace Of Mind And Blinds Our Ability To Think Clearly. Anger And Attachment Are Emotions That Distort Our View Of Reality.

If You Shift Your Focus From Yourself To Others, Extend Your Concern To Others, And Cultivate The Thought Of Caring For The Well Being Of Others, Then This Will Have The Immediate Effect Of Opening Up Your Life And Helping You To Reach Out.
