Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively.

Compassion instills a sense of calm, inner strength, and a deep confidence and satisfaction

All religions try to benefit people, with the same basic message of the need for love and compassion, for justice and honesty, for contentment. So merely changing formal religious affiliations will often not help much. On the other hand, in pluralistic, democratic societies, there is the freedom to adopt the religion of your choice. This is good. This lets curious people like you run around on the loose!

Inner values like friendship, trust, honesty and compassion are much more reliable than money - they always bring happiness and strength.

Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

The creation of a more peaceful and happier society has to begin from the level of the individual, and from there it can expand to one's family, to one's neighborhood, to one's community and so on.

Peace of mind is the basis of a healthy body and a healthy mind; so peace of mind, a calm mind, is very, very important.
