May we always be burdened with thinking of the suffering of others, for that is what it means to be human.

And then one day you realise that if you want to be rich, you'd have to give away almost everything you own.

Want to help others? Be yourself. You’ll inspire others to muster the courage to be themselves as well.

Why do you feel so powerless? Go spend an hour with ants. Each of those black specks you see is a life. One whole life that you can save, take, or affect in some way. You have the power to make so many lives better. It is within you. Don’t lose sight of that.

For how can any human be separate from humanity and humanness?

Remember:
all the thoughts you have
of yourself and others
are written on your face.
Make them kind.
