As the great Confucius said, "The one who would be in constant happiness must frequently change." Flow. But we keep looking back, don't we? We cling to things in the past and cling to things in the present...Do you want to enjoy a symphony? Don't hold on to a few bars of the music. Don't hold on to a couple of notes. Let them pass, let them flow. The whole enjoyment of a symphony lies in your readiness to allow the notes to pass.

If you search within your heart, you will find something there that will make it possible for you to understand: a spark of disenchantment and discontent, which if fanned into flame will become a raging forest fire that will burn up the whole of the illusory world you are living in, thereby unveiling to your wondering eyes the kingdom that you have always lived in unsuspectingly.

Live your life as you see fit. That's not selfish. Selfish is to demand that others live their lives as you see fit.

Whatever is truly alive must die. Look at the flowers; only plastic flowers never die.

If you never condemned you would never need to forgive.

Don't ask the world to change....you change first.

Rare indeed, is the relationship in which the other is not cultivated for what one can get for oneself.
