When we are using this term 'basic goodness,' we are talking about our inherent completeness.

When we appreciate something, that means we have allowed ourselves to relax and take it in.

Our only reliable source of strength is the goodness of our hearts. Our only foundation for coming to terms with the suffering of the times is our innate need to be decent human beings.

Sometimes it seems like most people are being pulled into a negative energy, but then you meet strong individuals or strong leaders and they are free from it.

Ultimately, as individuals we each have to ask ourselves to be courageous and apply certain principles.

To shift the direction of our planet, we must now be willing to experiment with the theory that within the speed and stress, we are good.

Changing our decision sets up a bad habit. It reinforces decision-making as an expression of bewilderment and ignorance, instead of wisdom and freedom.
