The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
-Bertrand Russell "Bertrand Russell"
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
Can the world exist without one to cognise it? Which comes first the being-consciousness or the rising-consciousness? The former is always there and eternal; the latter rises and disappears. It is transient.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
If you want to leave the world better than you found it, then use your heart of compassion and your life of concern.
If we cannot envision the world we would like to live in, we cannot work towards its creation. If we cannot place ourselves in it in our imagination, we will not believe it is possible.
