I'd Rather Be Kind Than Right. You

The Practicing Of Loving Kindness Toward One's Enemy Is The Ultimate Test Of One's Own Spiritual Attainment.

Happiness Doesn't Always Come From A Pursuit. Sometimes It Comes When We Least Expect It.

We Humans Have Existed In Our Present Form For About A Hundred Thousand Years. I Believe That If During This Time The Human Mind Had Been Primarily Controlled By Anger And Hatred, Our Overall Population Would Have Decreased. But Today, Despite All Our Wars, We Find That The Human Population Is Greater Than Ever. This Clearly Indicates To Me That Love And Compassion Predominate In The World. And This Is Why Unpleasant Events Are "news"; Compassionate Activities Are So Much A Part Of Daily Life That They Are Taken For Granted And , Therefore, Largely Ignored.

The Universe That We Inhabit And Our Shared Perception Of It Are The Results Of A Common Karma. Likewise, The Places That We Will Experience In Future Rebirths Will Be The Outcome Of The Karma That We Share With The Other Beings Living There. The Actions Of Each Of Us, Human Or Nonhuman, Have Contributed To The World In Which We Live. We All Have A Common Responsibility For Our World And Are Connected With Everything In It.
