All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.

On those days when I can spend a few hours getting some understanding, I feel fulfilled. I feel as if I have made good use of my time.

The cultivation of compassion is no longer a luxury, but a necessity, if our species is to survive.

The point of life is happiness.

I think governments can't do much.

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

Compassion is the wish for another being to be free from suffering; love is wanting them to have happiness.
