I am confident that the next century will be better than this one.

Hatred, jealousy, and fear hinder peace of mind. When you're angry or unforgiving, for example, your mental suffering is constant. It is better to forgive than to spoil your peace of mind with ill feelings.

It does not matter whether you are a theist or atheist, what matters is sincerity, forgiveness, and compassion.

Unfortunately, love and compassion have been omitted from too many spheres of social interaction for too long. Usually confined to family and home, their practice in public life is considered impractical, even naive. This is tragic.

In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.

One can overcome the forces of negative emotions, like anger and hatred, by cultivating their counter-forces, like love and compassion.
