An uncomfortable feeling is not an enemy. It's a gift that says, "Get honest; inquire." We reach out for alcohol, or television, or credit cards, so we can focus out there and not have to look at the feeling. And that's as it should be, because in our innocence we haven't known how. So now what we can do is reach out for a paper and a pencil, write thought down, and investigate.

Here's what I would want for humanity, because this is what I have come to see is true: it's so simple when we listen to people.

Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.

The only way I can be angry at you is when I have thought, said, or done something that is unkind in my own opinion.
