your own reason

believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if i have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

our reactions to our feelings

from contact comes feeling. from feeling comes reaction. this is what keeps us in the cycle of birth and death. our reactions to our feelings our are passport to rebirth.

we are dependent on one another

because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. that is not just a dream but a necessity. we are dependent on each other in so many ways that we can no longer live in isolated communities and ignore what is happening outside those communities.
