" You yourself,
as much as anybody
in the entire universe,
deserve your love
and affection. "
Siddhartha Gautama
" Self-preservation
is the first
law of nature. "
Samuel Butler
" When we quit
thinking primarily
about ourselves
and our own
self-preservation,
we undergo a
truly heroic
transformation
of consciousness. "
Joseph Campbell
" One, with God,
is always a majority,
but many a martyr
has been burned . . .
while the votes
were being counted. "

The average person says:
"What is mine is mine;
what is yours is yours."
The sociopath says:
"What is mine is mine,
what is yours is also mine."
The exceptional person says:
"What is yours is yours,
and what is mine
is also yours."
The exceptional person
in the presence
of a sociopath says:
NOTHING.
Don't let others
take advantage
of your kindness,
or timidity.
Let your "No"
be "No."
Then stop talking.
If need be,
walk away
after you have said it.
No one can steal
your kindness,
your Aloha.
So give it away.
Feelings of obligation
are danger signs
of a damaged relationship.
Care for the soul
that is in your keeping:
Your Own.
Fondly, cloudia
