Within the framework of the Buddhist Path, reflecting on suffering has tremendous importance because -realizing the nature of suffering, you will develop greater resolve to put an end to the causes of suffering and the unwholesome deeds which lead to suffering. And it will increase your enthusiasm for engaging in the wholesome actions and deeds which lead to happiness and joy.

If you become more concerned for the welfare of others, you will experience a sense of calm, inner-strength, and self confidence.

Looking at various means of developing compassion, I think empathy is an important factor: the ability to appreciate others' suffering.

If there were really serious consequences if I did not accept, then of course I would do whatever was necessary. But in general I really prefer some freedom.

The point of life is happiness.

This generation has a responsibility to reshape the world. Start the task even if it will not be fulfilled in your lifetime. Even if it seems hopeless now, never give up. Offer a positive vision, with enthusiasm and joy, and an optimistic outlook.

Indulgence in resentment and vengeance will only further increase miseries to oneself and others in this life and in lives to come.
