As you identify less and less with the “me”,
you will be more at ease with everybody
and with everything.
Do you know why?
Because you are no longer afraid
of being hurt or not liked.
You no longer desire to impress anyone.
Can you imagine the relief
when you don’t have to impress
anybody anymore? Oh, what a relief.
Happiness at last!
Anthony de Mello
How many languages are there in the world? How about 5 billion! Each of us talks, listens, and thinks in his/her own special language that has been shaped by our culture, experiences, profession, personality, mores and attitudes. The chances of us meeting someone else who talks the exact same language is pretty remote". Anonymous |
“The foolish man seeks happiness
In the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
”James Oppenheim
Fools ignore complexity
. Pragmatists suffer it.
Some can avoid it.
Geniuses remove

"We do not have a fear
of the unknown.
What we fear is
giving up the known."
~ Anthony de Mello
