COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what."
- Harper Lee



‎"I still respond to the call of the cosmos, although the way I do so has changed. The call is as clear and compelling as it was those many years ago.

When I hear it now, I pause, and, with all my body, with every atom of my being, every vein, gland and nerve, I listen with awe and passion. Imagine someone who’s mother has been dead for ten years. Suddenly one day he hears her voice calling to him. That is how I feel when I hear the call of earth and sky."

(Fragrant Palm Leaves, Journals of Thich Nhat Hanh 1962-1966, pp 30)




"I do not dispute with the world, though the world disputes with me. No one who is aware of the whole truth can dispute with this world. "
- Buddha (Annattalakkhana Sutta)

 
‎"Don't start with the reasonable, start with the unreasonable and scale back."
