The Importance of One Person

the importance of one person

If you can’t be just to one person, you can’t also be just to the rest. – itakeoffthemask

Morality, true morality is not like politics. It is not a morality of numbers where one could easily sacrifice a few for the good of all the others, for the good of the rest.

One soul is not just one person. One soul is a whole universe of significance in itself. You do not kill that soul so you can save other souls. The moment you are able to murder one soul, you can easily get rid of the rest.

Wouldn’t It Be Better?

Many people want to be loved
Yet few ever desire to simply “love”
and fewer still are those that want
to love without condition

Wouldn’t it be better
if there were more people who
wanted to love
rather than be loved?

Wouldn’t it be better
if there were more people
who could love
with no strings attached?

If there were more of these people
there would be lesses ones
lacking in love.

Love will be abundant
Love will always be
just within our reach.

The Knowledge of the World

The Knowledge of the World

Don’t take in more knowledge than you can digest. Don’t take in such a burdensome quantity as to disturb the peace of your soul.

There is much useful knowledge we could benefit from. Knowledge that helps us do our jobs better, knowledge that helps make this world a better place.

But information overload has sneaked in suddenly into our lives, and we failed to recognize it when it arrived. We have consumed more than we could take in. Indeed, we became too knowledgeable to be truly beautiful.

Tons of books now tell us a thousand things we should do, a thousand reasons why we should do them, and a thousand more on how to do all of those things.

Many times, it is not anymore how much we know. It all redounds to who we are and how connected we are to the things that matter most to us.

Never memorize what you can look up in books. – Albert Einstein

Acceptance

quotes on acceptance

Acceptance is an important ingredient in the recipe of SURRENDER. To ACCEPT what is, what has been, what could be. To accept one’s tears and one’s cross. To accept one’s joys without the guilt of feeling that one does not deserve the treasure she has found.

Much of our suffering comes from non-acceptance. Much of our energy is wasted resisting what already is.

Acceptance however, does not mean accepting evil, of not giving a fight to do what’s right. But it means fighting in another way, a fight that does not focus on resisting evil, but that which focuses on surrendering to attain what is good.

Through acceptance, we defeat our denials. We accept the darkness for what it really is. But we remain unafraid, ,knowing that darkness cannot prevail over the light. When we are of the light, no darkness can defeat us – ever!
