It is maybe not the best choice to have a favorite anything.

During the day extend that attitude to everyone you meet. Practice cherishing the "simplest" person (clerks, attendants, etc) or people you dislike.

With genuine love and compassion, another person's appearance or behavior has no affect on your attitude.

Not so long ago people believed in ideologies, systems, and institutions to save all societies. Today, they have given up such hopes and have returned to relying on the individual, on individual freedom, individual initiative, individual creativity.

As free human beings we can use our unique intelligence to try to understand ourselves and our world. But if we are prevented from using our creative potential, we are deprived of one of the basic characteristics of a human being.

My own share making contribution [to the the well-being of humanity]. So I never feel I am something special.

If we can cultivate a concern for others, keeping in mind the oneness of humanity, we can build a more compassionate world.
