I believe in the power of every human being to end suffering.

The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.

That's where the fear comes from-from your uninvestigated thoughts.

The world isn't what I've believed it to be, and I am not what I believed me to be, and neither is anyone.

If your beliefs are stressful and you question them, you come to see that they aren't true - whereas prior to questioning, you absolutely believe them. How can you live in joy when you're believing thoughts that bring on sadness, frustration, anger, alienation, and loneliness?

I like to say it was born out of laughter.
