As far as social-economic theory is concerned, I am still a Marxist

It's not enough to be compassionate. You must act.

There is a common perception that compassion is, if not actually an impediment, at least irrelevant to professional life. Personally, I would argue that not only is it relevant, but that when compassion is lacking, our activities are in danger of becoming destructive. This is because when we ignore the question of the impact our actions have on others' well-being, inevitably we end up hurting them.

Patience as we wait to take action is a kind of compassionate mind. Impatience on the other hand can be a source of failure.

Peace must first be developed within an individual. And I believe that love, compassion, and altruism are the fundamental basis for peace. Once these qualities are developed within an individual, he or she is then able to create an atmosphere of peace and harmony. This atmosphere can be expanded and extended from the individual to his family, from the family to the community and eventually to the whole world.

We need to learn how to want what we have NOT to have what we want in order to get steady and stable Happiness

Even within one person, yesterday and today, there are differences. We must look at a deeper level.
