You may delay, but time will not.
-Benjamin Franklin
Thoughts are the medium through which the ego, the limited self, appears and paves the way for all our likes and dislikes, pleasure and pain.
Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
The gulf between I and you is the ego. When the ego is removed the distance disappears and the ‘I’ and ‘you’ also disappear. They merge to become one — and that is love.
One is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.
Hatred never ceases through hatred in this world; through love alone they cease. This is an eternal law.
Just because you are happy it does not mean that the day is perfect but that you have looked beyond its imperfections.
-Bob Marley
