Sometimes something wrong is going on in the world and we think it is the other people who are doing it and we are not doing it.

But you are part of the wrongdoing by the way you live your life. If you are able to understand that, not only you suffer but the other person suffers, that is also an insight.

When you see the other person suffer you will not want to punish or blame but help that person to suffer less. If you are burdened with anger, fear, ignorance and you suffer too much, you cannot help another person. If you suffer less you are lighter more smiling, pleasant to be with, and in a position to help the person.

Activists have to have a spiritual practice in order to help them to suffer less, to nourish the happiness and to handle the suffering so they will be effective in helping the world. With anger and frustration you cannot do much. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

When our heart is filled with loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, its capacity becomes boundless, immeasurable. With such a vast heart, immense as the wide-open sea, suffering cannot overpower us, just as a small handful of salt cannot make a great river salty. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Be kind to other even if they are not to you.
Keep spreading love even if you don’t get it back.
Be helpful even if you have no one to help you.
Do not change yourself according to others.
Just remember one thing it is not between you and others,
It is always between you and the God.

I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff. ― Jon Katz

The sun, rising and setting in splendid colors, never grows tired
of its admirers―much like a lady, aglow with grace, never grows tired
of chivalrous acts or pretty flowers. ~Richelle E. Goodrich
