We are the same as plants, as trees, as other people, as the rain that falls. We consist of that which is around us, we are the same as everything.
Gautama BuddhaYour worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride.
Gautama Buddha
