Determining Factor

A    L    O    H    A  !

Learning to ignore things is 

one of the great paths to inner peace.

                 Robert J. Sawyer

 God Himself, sir, does not propose 

to judge a man until his life is over.

Why should you and I?

               Samuel Johnson

 You will find that silence 

or very gentle words

are the most exquisite 

revenge for insult.

 They may forget what you said,

but they will never forget 

how you made them feel.

          Carl W. Buechner

"No material object,

no matter how precious it is,

can give us the feeling

of being loved.

Compassion,

what I sometimes also call

human affection is the 

determining factor of our life.

Every human action becomes

dangers when deprived of

human feeling. -

         

- When they are performed

with feeling and respect

for human values

all activities

become constructive."

          Dalai Lama

Lasting Happiness

A   L   O   H   A  !

I want to live my life in such a way that

when I get out of bed in the morning, 

the devil says,  "aw shit, he's up!”

Steve Maraboli

You can walk in a dream while you are awake: 

Just walk in the misty morning of a forest!

    Mehmet Murat ildan

- as soon as I wake up, I remember Buddha’s teaching: the importance of kindness and compassion, wishing something good for others, or at least to reduce their suffering. Then I remember that everything is interrelated, the teaching of interdependence. So then I set my intention for the day: that this day should be meaningful. Meaningful means, if possible, serve and help others. If not possible, then at least not to harm others. That’s a meaningful day.

Lasting Happiness, I think,

is like wonderful donuts:

And as he spoke of understanding,

Gandhi & The Dalai Lama

A quiet mind is all you need. 

All else will happen rightly, once 

your mind is quiet. As the sun on rising 

makes the world active. . . In the light of 

calm and steady self-awareness, 

inner energies wake up 

and work miracles without 

any effort on your part

Photography is a reality so subtle that 

it becomes more real than reality.

It is how we think about, 
and how we treat 
those we disagree with,
that defines us as 
individuals, and as a society.
