understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi

-Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart"
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...

us with the strength to endure that pain. Look for yourself, we are not that
disheartened with the pains of present...but are worried sick about the pains to
come in future.
-Deep Trivedi

Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
