When you look at it that way, you can see how absurd it is that we individualize ourselves with our fences and hoarded possessions.

We think we don't deserve love, we think if we let it in we'll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said." Love is the only rational act.

Do the kind of things that come from the heart, When you do, you won't be dissatisfied, you won't be envious, you won't be longing for somebody else's things. On the contrary, you'll be overhelmed with what comes back

Keep your heart open for as long as you can, as wide as you can, for others and especially for yourself.

Now that I'm suffering, I feel closer to people who suffer more than I ever did before. The other night, on TV, I saw people in Bosnia running across the street, getting fired upon, killed, innocent victims....and I just started to cry. I feel their anguish as if it were my own. I don't know any of these people. But - how can I put this? I'm almost......drawn to them.

Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward.

Once you learn how to die you learn how to live.
