Compassion suits our physical condition, whereas anger, fear and distrust are harmful to our well-being. Therefore, just as we learn the importance of physical hygiene to physical health, to ensure healthy minds, we need to learn some kind of emotional hygiene.

We have global communication and yet confrontation is more common than dialogue.

I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life.

Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger.

When our mind is calm, we’re better able to find peace of mind and live a joyful life.

We all wish to live a happy life. In addition, we all have the same right to fulfil this goal. And we all have the potential to do so for the simple reason that future is not fixed, it can be changed. Therefore, we should live in hope that we really can overcome whatever problems we face.

We often add to our pain and suffering by being overly sensitive, over-reacting to minor things, and sometimes taking things too personally.
