One’s true worth as a human being is not a matter of outward appearance or title but derives rather from the breadth of one’s spirit. Everything comes down to faith and conviction. It is what is in one’s heart and the substance of one’s actions that count.
—Daisaku Ikeda
Observations
When Gandhi was asked what he thought about western civilization, he responded:” I think it’s about time!” In light of how unchecked and unrestricted profiteering by corporations and energy companies is draining the accounts of every one- I see how the western world is shortsightedly devouring itself. It seems to be the dawn of neofeudal times, and all that can bring us back from the edge of the abyss, is insisting upon our bond of humanity, integrity and the deep wish to manifest what makes up our core: to help each other and refuse the darkness of dehumanization.

We come and leave empty-handed…in the brief stretch of time that is life, we should behave like welcome guests- express & show our gratitude to mother earth that houses and nourishes us so kindly…
