I have not been inspired to write for awhile. In a sense what is happening in the world, politically, militarily, and sociologically is evident. The propaganda that the press and politicians are feeding us no longer make any sense. Who wants to believe that helping those who need help is foolish. Who wants to believe that having lots of money makes one more worthy of medical services, education, and general well being then those who are poor or middle class. Who wants to believe that killing people is a way to save them. Who wants to believe these lies.
I am posting a few quotes* that will hopefully encourage and sustain. Remember what we do, think, and how we behave does have an impact. We are not powerless. I have been taught, and I believe that the light always triumphs over darkness. It seems to be important in these times to hold this thought.
" Do not overlook tiny good actions, thinking they are of no benefit; even tiny drops of water in the end will fill a huge vessel." The Buddha
"In a real sense, all life is interrelated. All persons are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in one's life. Through a difficult period you can learn; you can develop inner strength, determination and the courage to face the problems." His Holiness The Dalai Lama
" True accomplishment is not about winning, acquiring, or being on top. It is about sharing giving, and including" Lewis Richmond
"No matter what is going on, never give up. Develop the Heart....be compassionate...never give up" His Holiness The Dalai Lama
In Peace.
