At 9:10 I'm going to be filled with self-hatred.

We long for permanence but everything in the known universe is transient. That's a fact but one we fight.

From the Buddhist point of view, it is true that emptiness is a characteristic of all of life - if we look carefully at any experience we will find transparency, insubstantiality, with no solid, unchanging core to our experience. But that does not mean that nothing matters.

Our path, our sense of spirituality demands great earnestness, dedication, sincerity & continuity.

Fearful of wasting a second, we hoard time as if it were money.

I will love myself as long as I never make a mistake.

Resilience is based on compassion for ourselves as well as compassion for others
