Passion overcomes obstacles.

I try not to think in terms of good and bad but more in terms of helpful or unhelpful in regards to specific moral codes and goals.

I am still learning and experiencing things and feel like I cannot state a truth. So I guess one truth I know for sure is that I cannot state one. A paradox.

What is truth? I think stating a truth could be dangerous, because we are locking something in and therefore making it harder for ourselves to change beyond that certain thought or concept.

Knowing that a paradox is required for life as we know it to exist allows me to give up trying constantly to understand it and instead just feel it and enjoy it.

Sometimes we can't help the way we feel, but we can mostly choose how we respond to it.

I try to make sure I have a helpful perspective so when emotional pain comes up, it doesn't get out of hand.

It's difficult to change, because I have to admit that I have been previously living in a less compassionate and loving way. Sometimes we just want to be right instead of fully conscious.

For me, it's the slow release of my ego and certain belief systems that I identify with that give me comfort and an identity, and it's scary to let go of that.

All our unique human achievements may seem to be the creation of the unique human mind, but they are simply the by- products of our neurobiological response to the environment.

Sometimes the person you'd take a bullet for is the person behind the trigger.

There is no human nature, since there is no god to conceive it.

I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane.

The important thing is to never stop questioning. Never lose a holy curiosity.

Power call achieve more by gentle means than by violence.

When you get to a certain age, you don't get lost. If you have a good set of pals around about you can have a great life.

No road is to long for him who advances slowly and does not hurry and no attainment is beyond his reach who equips himself with patience to achieve it

My dad passed away...and suddenly I found myself at the top of the tree and looking at the sky instead of at my mom and dad.
