The pain itself is a product or a reflection of how I am interpreting whatever it is that is causing me pain.

We are here to repair the world. I grew up thinking that was what everybody was trying to do.

What is happening in politics today is a similar process to what happened in the medical world a few decades ago: realizing that there's more to healing than just addressing symptoms. Primary paradigm when it comes to dealing with political and social disease is allopathic: Pass a law, lock someone up, engage in warfare. And the state of the world today makes it clear that such allopathic measures have not exactly brought peace to all.

Your future isn't programmed by your past; it's programmed by your thoughts.

Next time you're about to judge someone, attempt to understand them instead.

Think of everything you've ever experienced that was painful; that's the meaning of Good Friday. Think of all the ways that love ultimately healed your heart; that's the meaning of Easter.

Until we have seen someone's darkness, we don't really know who they are. Until we have forgiven someone's darkness, we don't really know what love is.
