When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer a lot.

The jealousy that arises from another's achievement is overcome by developing an awareness of and admiration for one's own and other's achievement.

I want to show that there are indeed some universal ethical principles which could help everyone to achieve the happiness we all aspire to.

To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a battle.

If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another. If you wish to know that you are safe, cause another to know that they are safe. If you wish to better understand seemingly incomprehensible things, help another to better understand. If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another.

The first beneficiary of compassion is always oneself. When compassion, or warmheartedness, arises in us and our focus shifts away from our own narrow self-interest, it is as if we open an inner door. It reduces fear, boosts confidence and brings us inner strength. By reducing distrust, it opens us to others and brings us a sense of connection to others, and sense of purpose and meaning in life.

Moving towards better rather than moving away from bad is an attitude of embracing life rather than rejecting it.
