All of us, including animals, believe the best way to live is to avoid pain and discomfort. A more interesting way to live is to be curious, whether the object of our curiosity is bitter or sweet. We can endure a lot to find out how we tick and how the world ticks.
Your flow of life can be affected by simply altering your circumstances. The flow of energy moves constantly according to fixed points that exist at any given moment. By manipulating these points we can change the flow. Freedom to choose and change belongs to us.
Practice undiscriminating virtue, eliminate the illusory boundaries between yourself and others. This brings you joy and freedom. It is not that you don’t encounter difficulties in life, but you learn to meet them calmly and openly and they become a natural part of your life.
When good begins to prevail, this gives an incentive to those of ability to join this upward trend. Don’t be carried away with it, but adhere to what is right. Be aware that everything is transitory, because descent must follow every rise. This is the universal law.
Quote: “We have nothing to fear but, fear itself”. I would say, “not even that”. President Roosevelt
