Without friends, no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.
Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.
No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.
Compassion naturally creates a positive atmosphere, and as a result, you feel peaceful and content.
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
Genuine compassion is based not on our own projections and expectations but rather on the rights of the other: irrespective of whether another person is a close friend or an enemy, as long as that person wishes for peace and happiness and wishes to overcome suffering, then on that basis we develop a genuine concern for their problems.
