Do not close your eyes before suffering. Find ways to be with those who are suffering by all means, Including personal contact and visits, images, sound. By such means, awaken yourself and others to the reality of suffering in the world.
Gautama BuddhaIf you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone. There is no companionship with the immature.
Gautama BuddhaEnnui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair.
