When we judge others we contribute to violence.

Analyses of others are actually expressions of our own needs and values

My ultimate goal is to spend as many of my moments in life as I can in that world that the poet Rumi talks about, 'a place beyond rightness and wrongness.

At the core of all anger is a need that is not being fulfilled.

Any evaluation which implies rightness or wrongness is a tragic, suicidal expression of an unmet need. Tragic, first because it decreases our likelihood of getting our need met! Even if we think it. And secondly, because it increases the likelihood of violence. That's why I'm suggesting any evaluation which implies rightness or wrongness is a tragic, suicidal expression of an unmet need. Say the need! Learn a need-consciousness.

When you need empathy, you cannot give empathy.

We are dangerous when we are not conscious of our responsibility for how we behave, think, and feel.
