Be the reason for someone to have hope. In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

The Universe in me recognizes the Universe in you.

WHEN WE LOOK deeply into our fear, we see the desire for permanence. We’re afraid of change. Our anger, our fear, our despair are born from our wrong perceptions, from our notions of being and nonbeing, coming and going, rising and falling. If we practice looking deeply, we find out that these notions cannot be applied to reality. We can touch our true nature, we can touch the ultimate dimension, and this brings about nonfear. When we trust that insight of no birth and no death, joy becomes possible every moment of our life. — thich naht hanh
