We begin from the recognition that all beings cherish happiness and do not want suffering. It then becomes both morally wrong and pragmatically unwise to pursue only one's own happiness oblivious to the feelings and aspirations of all others who surround us as members of the same human family.

Meet hostility and suspicion with kindness. Helping others out of love is always the best option.

I have no trouble sleeping.
